HONOR ROLL OF DONORS cont.<br />

THE SENIOR CLASS GIFT<br />

The tradition of senior class giving was started by the Class of 2014 as a meaningful way to<br />

thank the dedicated teachers and coaches who helped them throughout their four years at<br />

O’Dowd.<br />

Following in this tradition, the Class of<br />

<strong>2016</strong> achieved record level giving by<br />

raising over $82,000 to establish The<br />

Class of <strong>2016</strong> Endowed Scholarship<br />

Fund, becoming the first O’Dowd class<br />

to establish such a fund prior to graduation.<br />

An anonymous donor is matching<br />

all gifts to endowed scholarships, $1 for<br />

$1, doubling the impact of these gifts<br />

to $164,000. The scholarship will be<br />

awarded annually to students who excel<br />

in academics, are active in the O’Dowd<br />

community, and have a demonstrated<br />

financial need.<br />

The campaign was led by volunteer students<br />

and parents. Says Dani Viviani ’16,<br />

one of the student leaders, “I came to really<br />

appreciate O’Dowd during my junior<br />

year and the start of the college process.<br />

I felt so prepared by my teachers. As I<br />

embark on college, I realize how lucky I<br />

am to be part of the O’Dowd community.<br />

I know now that the scholarship, and my<br />

support, is even more important to provide this same opportunity to other students in our<br />

community.”<br />

O’Dowd is eternally grateful to the Class of <strong>2016</strong> students and parents for creating such an<br />

outstanding legacy.<br />
