From Our Leadership
Dear Hayesmen and friends of Hayes,
Greetings from your alma mater, Cardinal Hayes High School! I hope that the New Year
will bring to you and your families many blessings as we progress our way through the 2013
year, and continue to celebrate the Year of Faith, declared last October by His Holiness,
Pope Benedict XVI.
The Year of Faith also brings with it the gift of another of the Theological Virtues we must
never lose sight of, and that is the gift of Hope. Cardinal Hayes High School has based
its existence on this wonderful virtue, and we trust our hope for the future will continue to
remain strong as we begin the new year. In order for us to have hope, we must look ahead
and begin to put into place the necessary programs that will ensure a strong and solid
future for our school. I write to you today, to lay out some of the ideas and needs of our
school, so as to allow you to consider how you might be a source of encouragement, support
and hope.
As we begin this new year, it is our hope that we will continue the fine tradition of Hayes in providing our students with a fine
Catholic based education and formation as they progress through their high school years at Hayes. We do this by offering the
young Hayesmen a variety of opportunities to succeed: in the classroom, in their clubs and activities, by participating in our athletic programs, and by offering them various community service venues to give of their time and talent.
One of the challenges we continue to face as we begin the year 2013, is student retention and financial assistance. We are committed to providing a quality Catholic education for our students, while holding to a reasonable tuition rate for our parents and
guardians. A large number of our students receive a scholarship in one form or another, while others are afforded some financial assistance due to the generosity of so many of our alumni and friends of Hayes. Without this ability to assist our families,
we would not be able to hold on to them, as they would not be able to afford to pay their full tuition. Currently, our tuition is
$6,200.00 per year, (a far cry from what some of you reading this letter paid when you were a student). The real cost of educating
a student today at Hayes is roughly $8,300.00. Thanks to the generous donations we receive each year in our 650 Fund and the
quality work of our Cardinal and Gold Fund investments, we are currently able to meet this budgetary shortfall. However, I feel
that unless we receive additional assistance from our alumni and friends of Hayes, we might not be able to assist those students
who, more and more, are in need of financial assistance in order to continue their studies at Hayes.
A “Bridge the Gap” program might be something you would consider to support Hayes and a student meet the growing costs of
education, and so be a “silent partner” to a current Hayes student as he focuses on his studies. The “Bridge the Gap” assistance
would allow us to continue helping our students with financial aid, while helping to assist the school in meeting any budgetary
shortfall. In addition, your donation to assist a student with his full or partial tuition, also would afford them not to be worried
about whether he will be able to continue his studies at Hayes, and so enable him to focus his energies on his school work and the
activities he is engaged in at Hayes.
When it comes to an academic schedule, Hayes continues to offer a challenging and rigorous program for our young men. We
are a full-service institution from our Academy Program to our Honors program. We span the educational spectrum to serve the
needs of our students. This type of far reaching plan does not come without a greater need of providing the funding for such programs and ancillary personnel. In order for our students to succeed, some of them need additional assistance in after-school study
programs which we provide for struggling students. Our “9th Period” Program, affords students to receive much needed tutoring
or to take advantage of the opportunity to get homework done before leaving school. This program is monitored by teachers who
are compensated for their time, and this is part of the greater challenge of providing adequate stipends for them, as they assist our
students in their academic pursuits.

In addition, the needs of some of our students in specific areas of growth and development are plentiful. Some of the situations our students face each day – outside of the school environment – are often too much for them to handle. As the “family of
Hayes”, we must provide these students with support services to ensure them with opportunities to be able to talk about the issues
they are facing each day. Too often, these issues cloud the ability of the students to function at their highest level. The hope for
their continued success compels us to provide for them adequate and competent services for them to face their challenges and
achieve their goals.
From Our Leadership
As you know, Hayes has always been blessed with the strong interest in the variety of athletic programs offered on all three competing levels: freshman, junior varsity and varsity. On any given day, (and weekend), the gymnasium and “Duff ” are populated
with athletes who are striving to ‘raise the bar’ on their abilities and conditioning. There is no shortage of students interested in
our sports clubs, but there is a shortage on the space and availability of providing the opportunities for their goals to be met. As
you know, we are limited in the space we are able to provide for our sports programs; in addition, more and more we are faced
with the cost factor of transporting teams to practice venues and with the rentals of those facilities. Our goal is not to limit their
opportunities, but to have a greater outreach to a variety of venues for our use, to ensure the students safe and adequate means of
transportation, as well as, the proper personnel to provide our athletes with the greatest opportunity for success in their programs.
These programs and opportunities are not without expense, and so we look our alumni and friends for their continued generous
support to help us. We want to give our athletes the best chance at success as they represent their school. This desire will require
us to find adequate facilities, provide safe transportation, and afford them quality instruction and coaching for their respective
sports.
Men of Hayes, these are just some of the challenges that we face; however, despite them, I am committed to providing these, and
many other opportunities for our young Hayesmen as we look to the future, with hope. Please let us know how you would like to
help “Bridge the Gap”, or provide some time to volunteer to help us with our alumni programs, or to assist us so we can provide
tutors for our students who want to succeed in their studies, or in helping to enhance our athletic programs.
We are blessed to have alumni all across the United States. If you are interested in having me visit your area and where we could
arrange a gathering of our Hayes Alumni from the surrounding area, please let me know. I am interested in traveling to meet
with any of our alumni to discuss the various needs and challenges I have indicated here in my letter, as well as to provide you
with an update on our school, our programs, our activities, our students and our plans for our future. We have already set up some
alumni gatherings, along with our Hayes National Alumni President, Mr. John Fontana, ’76, to meet with our Hayes alumni.
These are informal gatherings of Hayesmen who are still sharing stories (some true and some contrived) of their time at Hayes,
reminiscing about a particular teacher or event, and allowing me to provide an update on “Hayes as it is today”. Please let me
know if you are interested in helping organize a Hayes gathering or your desire to attend such a reunion. (I do travel well with
my golf clubs…).
You can contact me by email at jtierney@cardinalhayes.org, or you can reach out to our Director of Development, Mr. John Connolly at jconnolly@cardinalhayes.org, if you are interested in arranging an alumni gathering in your area. You can also visit our
website at www.cardinalhayes.org for any other information about what is going on at 650 Grand Concourse.
In November, there was a gathering of our Hayesmen in the Boston area. Last December, I was in Washington, D.C. for a Hayes
Alumni gathering, and also here in the Bronx. In late December, I traveled with the Hayes varsity basketball team to a tournament in Palm Desert, Ca. And, we plan to be in Atlanta, Ga., on January 24-25, for a Hayes Alumni reunion.
Thank you for all you do for your alma mater, Cardinal Hayes High School. It is our hope, and prayer, that we will all continue to
work together in giving our support to this fine school and it future. God bless.
Up Hayes and all its loyal men!
Sincerely,
Fr. Joe Tierney
President

Cardinal Hayes High School has been working diligently to enhance our online presence – last year we initiated a new Alumni
website located at http://alumni.cardinalhayes.org and we also increased our visibility on several Social Media platforms such
as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. And now in 2012, in response to the countless requests to have an online store for Hayes,
we’ve pushed ahead and it’s finally here!
Through BIG BEAR NY, a subsidy of Algonquin Services in Buffalo, NY and their more than 60 years of experience in the
garment decoration business, we are ensured of quality and consistency for the entire Hayes Family. Located at https://alumni.
cardinalhayes.org/shophayes . SHOP NOW!
What this means for Hayes:
For anyone involved with Cardinal Hayes High School, the HAYES SHOP allows them to buy merchandise in support of their
favorite teams and/or the school by simply logging-on and creating a username and password for secure and express checkout.
Since the site is secure, credit card information can be stored after your first purchase so you can shop freely the next time you
visit us. No more carrying cash to Hayes functions looking to buy sweatshirt and hats only. We have expanded and will continue
to do so until we have a well round assortment of Hayes items of whih we can all be proud.
Offering top of the line apparel like NIKE and ADIDAS was not cost efficient for the school. We would only keep limited supplies on hand and have to turn away customers because of sizing issues. Now we carry every size from XS-4XL.
What will Hayes’ online store provide?
Other than the typical sweatshirt, t-shirt and hats, Hayes will be able to provide: sports pullovers, down vests, fleeces, sweatpants,
shorts, athletic jerseys and varsity jackets. We will also provide hard goods like bags, branded mugs, notebooks, pens, mouse pads
and umbrellas, just to name a few. Most importantly, the HAYES SHOP will provide you with the ability to purchase Hayes
gear in any quantity and any sizes you’d like…24/7.
HAYES NEWS
How does this benefit Hayes?
All orders are submitted directly to BIG BEAR NY. Once ordered, your selected item(s) will be packed and prepped for delivery… shipping will be arranged by BIG BEAR NY and mailed to you directly via UPS. In the past the school would order merchandise, select sizes and art work, and ship the order from Hayes. Often times whatever sizes were left over weren’t sold. The
time and energy spent on ordering, shipping, housing and counting inventory can now be put to more efficient use. The HAYES
SHOP will also provide various seasonal items that will be more appealing to the masses.
All proceeds generated from the online store will benefit the students of Hayes directly.
Order online and email us a photo of you at alumni@cardinalhayes.org sporting your favorite Hayes gear!
We hope you enjoy your shopping experience with Hayes, and we look forward to seeing you all in your new Hayes apparel.

Hayes Goes Dominican...
New York and Dominican Republic Educational Conferences, 2012
A pioneer Educational Exchange
between teachers and administrators
from Cardinal Hayes High school in
the Bronx and their counterparts from
District 15-03 in Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic, took place in July,
August, and October of 2012. These
events sought a sharing of strategic
ideas to deeper understand the organizational structures of the school systems
involved in order to strengthen the
teaching profesion and the quality of
instruction, which will help narrow the
cultural gap Latin American students
confront when they arrive in the United
States.
Cardinal Hayes alum Class of 1983, Mr.
Gerald Ford, envisioned this Educational Interchange as a “Vehicle for
Classroom Learning,” the name of the
project. As a result of his recommendation and contact with District 15-03, a
distinguished group of educators from
both nations emerged and convened in
the Bronx with the purpose of sharing
and developing more effective pedagogical methods.
Mrs. Yesenia Chavez, an Administrator in District 15-03 based in Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic and
Mr. Francis De Castro, Chairperson
of Foreign Languages Department at
Cardinal Hayes High School in the
Bronx embarked on the organization of
the event. They outlined a meticulous
conference agenda filled with educational activities involving presentations and discussions on curriculum
8 |
planning, preparing lesson
plans, classroom observations, use of technology,
school counseling, school
and teacher evaluations and
special education; they also
shared lively discussions of
their individual educational
experiences.
of educational programs supporting
in-coming Elementary students and
college freshmen. The assembly was
welcomed at Immaculate Conception
School in the Bronx; where Principal,
Sister Patrice Owens gave a tour of the
Institution and spoke informatively
of the diverse educational programs
offered by the school.
During the first Educational Interchange, which
took place in July of 2012,
the assembly also visited
Marble Hill High School
for International Studies in the Bronx;
where College Counselor, Mrs. Luz
Jacobson conducted presentations about
Marble Hill’s educational plan. Mrs. Aida
Lopez, Administrator of District 15-03,
also shared institutional details of her
district.
The group also traveled to the prestigious Manhattan College School
Building Leadership Program, where
the Director, Sister Remigia Kushner
and one of its professors, Dr. Peter
Mutarelli spoke about how the Program trains education professionals to
become leaders in their field, including
how it responds to social, economic,
and educational trends. The visiting
group enhanced this discussion by
providing some key insights into some
of these educational dynamics in the
Federal District of Santo Domingo,
as well as the rest of the Dominican
Republic.
The remarkable achievements of the first
Educational Interchange in July set the
wheels in motion for a subsequent journey, which took place from October 22nd
to the 25th, 2012.
The second exchange was characterized
by a professional and enthusiastic participation by Cardinal Hayes and members
of District 15-03; joining in were Mrs.
Ermidia Robles, Director of District
15-03, as well as Father Joseph Tierney, President of Cardinal Hayes High
School, and its Principal, Mr. William
Lessa. Such vital administrative support
set the tone for a fruitful event, which
would not have been possible without
the contributions of the Hayes faculty
and its students. Teachers, counselors,
and administrators, and students devotedly prepared conference presentations
and activities, from escorting our guests
around the building and translating,
which was assigned to several bilingual
Hayes students, to planning the details
of the conference, which was handled by
several faculty members, including members of the Foreign Languages Department and the school’s Hispanic Outreach
Committee.
The focus of the second Educational
Interchange highlighted the diversity
Working together to achieve realistic goals for all our students, while
harvesting the professional growth
of educators from both nations, the
future of Educational exchanges like
this one looks bright. However, as in
the first three meetings, the prevalent
achievement of future meetings is the
renewal of an educator’s mission: to
help realize successfully the collective
dreams of our students.

Meet Rui Guimaraes, ‘97
Teacher and Hayesman
Rui Guimaraes graduated from Cardinal Hayes High School in 1997 and like many
before him, came back to give back. From William Stetter ’46 and Eddie Robinson
‘61, to Bob Burns ‘69 and Danny Torres ’84, (and everyone in between) Hayesmen
have answered the call and returned to 650 Grand Concourse to teach, coach, or
volunteer.
As a student at Hayes, the self-described ‘young and insecure teenager’ was in honors
courses his junior year and was fortunate to be in the presence of the best teachers
anyone could ask for. Mr. Tom Kenney. “Easily the most influential teacher from my
days as a student has to be Tom Kenney, my AP English teacher. His course introduced me to Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, Hamlet and Othello, works that I went
on to study much more closely in college and that are the foundations of the courses I
now teach to my AP English prep students.
In the summer of 2002 Rui joined the English department of Cardinal Hayes High
School and quickly earned his stripes, leaving a lasting impression on eager English
students, whether their passion was Literature or Grammar.
In 2006 Mr. G received the “NY Times Teachers That Matters” Award. He was
nominated by NY Times scholarship winner Justin Jiminez ’06. Justin, one of Guimaraes’ first students in 2002, went on to become President of the National Honor
Society. He would receive two more nominations and NY Times Awards; when in
2007 he was nominated by Luis Soto ‘07, and a third time in 2011 by another one of
his prize students, Kenneth Hicks ’11.
“Justin is one of the first students that I ever taught and was the first NHS president I worked with, while Kenneth is my most recent NHS president and all of his
kindness and humility still resonates so clearly,” Guimaraes reflects on two of his
more memorable students. “I have had the incredible fortune of teaching at least one
honors course in each of my years teaching at Hayes, so I’ve been quite fortunate to
encounter so many amazing and talented students in my time at Hayes.”
Currently RG teaches English 9 Honors, English 10 Honors, AP English and
English 10. His responsibilities outside of the classroom include Exam Coordinator
where he organizes the execution of Hayes’ Mid-term and Finals exams; he oversees
all of the College Board exams, like the AP English and PSATs, as well as administers the TACHS exam, which is given to 8th graders seeking admission to one of the
Archdiocesan schools. On top of that Rui is also Moderator of the National Honor
Society.
As moderator to the National Honor Society, Rui works with some of Hayes’ most
talented students. Tyreece Santana ’13 was taught by Guimaraes, during both his
freshman and sophomore year and is now a member of the NHS. “Mr. G knows
how to motivate students and allows us to take ownership of the group’ ideas and
allows us to present them to the administration,” Santana stressed. “I would rather
have it this way instead of everyone relying on the moderator. It makes the NHS a
more active group.”
That sounds like a full plate, but not for the Hayesman who sees the bigger picture,
“I would love to be able to donate huge sums of money to Hayes as our amazing
alumni have done and continue to do. Unfortunately, that’s not a possibility. What
I can give in great abundance to the school and its young men is my time. So, I
think I would most want to be remembered as that teacher who was always there for
anyone at any time, the teacher whose door was open when a paper needed editing,
homework needed to be completed, or when a student needed a place to which he
could go when no other doors seemed to be available.”
While at Hayes Rui admits he wasn’t as involved as he would have liked. “I did not
get involved in many activities while I was a student, nor did I attend many of the
school events like the school plays. I regretted this very much once I entered college and could not share the same stories and experiences about Hayes that other
students could share about their own high schools,” Guimaraes laments. “For this
reason I am a huge advocate of student participation and community service. I do
not want our students to have any regrets about events and activities they missed out
on while they went to Hayes.”
10 |
I recall that in my first few years teaching, I definitely tried to emulate his style of
teaching and I enjoyed placing notes all over the walls of my room. He was such a
kind and fair teacher, the type of person I aspired to be. Those last two years at Hayes,
when I started to become the person I am today, are the reason I have such fond
memories of Hayes, and probably why I came back here to teach.”
Sophomore Tyron Ingram ’15 has had Mr. G. two years in a row. “My first day in
class, freshman year, Mr. G. asked someone to leave the classroom for asking a question not relevant to the lesson. That’s how I knew he was a serious teacher,” Ingram
remembered, as his three track teammates and fellow honor students who also have
Guimaraes nod and laugh in acknowledgement of the validity of Tyron’s story. Angelio Grullon ’15 and Dante Rodriguez were in the same English class last year as
freshman and they both agreed they quickly became better writers.
“We learned to get straight to the point when writing,” Grullon said. “It helps us in
other classes like when I have to write a Geometry paper,” Rodriguez added. Tyler
Polite ’15 also had Mr.G. as a freshman and sophomore, but this year he has two subjects with the dedicated educator. “I have him for two periods this year…AP English
and English 10 Honors. He holds us to higher standards, he wants us to be better
than average,” Polite emphasized. The four students also agreed their papers would
probably get higher grades if they had other teachers. There is no coincidence the four
academians share a common interest in English and Running.
Rui likes to stay physically fit and the one school activity that he did participate in
while at Hayes was the Track and Field team. “I was a triple-jumper and by my
senior year, I was pretty good and one of the top jumpers in the Archdiocese,” Rui
recalls. “I think my true calling was always running, though I didn’t know it at the
time.”
“What little time I have when I am not doing something related to Hayes, or obviously spending time with family, goes toward endurance race training. I easily spend
an additional twenty hours per week running or biking in the evenings and on the
weekends. I love distance-running and marathons; even ultra-marathons are now a
huge part of my life. I take these events very seriously and have had a lot of success in
competition. Winning my first marathon last summer was the best feeling I’ve ever
experienced in sport. My new goal, however, is to earn a spot on the 2013 USA National Team in the sport of duathlon next May, and to compete at the World Championships in Ottawa next August.”
Having received his B.A. in British and American Literature and in Education from
Hunter College, Rui has earned half of his credits towards a Master’s Degree in English Literature and plans to return to Hunter and complete his degree in the next year
or two.

... And We'll Win
For Cardinal & Gold
The Cardinal Hayes 2012 Fall Athletic
Season was very successful and left a
feeling of high expectations for the future. The Varsity Football Team posted
a 5-5 record which ended in a defeat at
the hands of rival Mt.St. Michael on
Thanksgiving Day. The offense was led
by running back Patrick Heumengi and
wide receiver George Dawson, and the
defense by Kalil Collier. The Cardinals
were successful enough to earn a playoff
berth against Fordham Prep which
ended in a heart breaking 1 point loss.
With time running out Hayes scored to
cut the deficite to 1. Coach CJ O’Neil
went for the 2 points and the win,
but was turned away by the Fordham
defense. Coach O’Neil and his staff are
excited about the teams future because
of the returning team members, and the
success of the JV and Freshman teams.
ATHLETICS
12 |
For the first time in as long as anyone
can recall the JV and Freshman teams
both posted winning records in the
same season. Both teams were 4-3 and
showed dominance in several of their
victories. Both seasons ended in disappointment due to Hurricane Sandy. The
Freshman lost their final game of the
season and the JV lost the entire playoffs. Veteran coaches Craig Joseph ( JV )
and Rudy Turnbull (FR) have assured
coach O’Neil and his staff that they will
be coaching plenty of talent in the near
future.
Van Cortlandt Park was home for the
Freshman and Varsity Cross Country
teams. Both teams placed 2nd in the
CHSAA team championships. Nana
Boakye led the Varsity runners while
Nicholas Rivera the Freshman. Both
teams logged countless miles through
Franz Sigal Park and the treacherous
hills of Van Cortlandt Park in all kinds
of weather. Coaches William Dowling,
Anthony Pena, and Christopher Gironda were very happy with the success
of the teams and look forward to next
year.
Kevin Iurilli took over the bowling
program and had moderate success. The
Varsity, which moved up in the division, finished in the middle of the pack
and the JV finished just 4 points out of
a playoff spot. The Varsity was led by
sophmore Kelvin Oates who had one of
the leagues highest averages. First year
coach Kevin Iurilli promises a better
season next year.
The Hayes Soccer Team had visions of a
City Championship the past 2 seasons
only to be eliminated in heartbreaking fashion both years. For Hayes and
coaches Paul Ellis and Doug McEachern the wait was worth it. After posting
a 4-1-1 regular season record the Hayes
Soccer Team again had their eyes on the
top prize once again. In their first playoff game, they won a thriller 2-1. Next
up, the Final against St.John’s Prep.
St.John’s Prep handed Hayes its only
defeat in the final game of the regular
season by a score of 2-1. The Final was
hard fought as both teams were evenly
matched. At the end of regulation time
the score was tied at 1. Everything was
settled and Hayes’ dream was realized
when Hayes leading scorer Ricardo
Reid put the ball past the St.John’s Prep
goaltender.
Congratulations to all the Hayes teams,
but especially to Coaches Paul Ellis and
Doug McEachern and the soccer team
winning the City Championship.
With winter upon us it’s time for
Basketball and Track and Field and the
expectations are high.

Champions
The 2012 Cardinal Hayes soccer season
began and ended with goals from junior
Ricardo Reid, who led the team in scoring with 16 goals in 10 games. The most
important of these goals came less than
a minute into overtime during the Varsity B Finals against St. John’s Prep in
November. Reid’s goal gave Hayes a 2-1
victory and resulted in Cardinal Hayes
winning its first city soccer championship in well over a decade.
Despite losing 9 players to graduation in 2012, Hayes rallied behind the
team captains, senior midfielder Cesar
Espinoza and junior goalkeeper Jessi
Dolores, to finish the regular season
in first place with a 6-1-1 record. The
offense was productive, scoring a total
of 32 goals in the regular season. The
leading scorers were Reid, Espinoza,
14 |
Fight, fight, fight ...
and sophomore Julius Tumukunde. The
forwards were supported by a strong
midfield anchored by Espinoza along
with sophomores Derek Torres and
Darwin Anguisaca. While not as stingy
as in past seasons, the Hayes defense
allowed only 13 goals in the regular season. Sophomore Jesus Galvez-Prudente
returned from a collarbone injury that
cut his freshman season short to deliver
an all-star performance at sweeper.
Seniors Nana Boakye and Cecil Ansah
were solid defenders in their one season
for Hayes.
The 2012 season saw the CHSAA boys
soccer league split into three levels for
the first time, with Hayes moving to the
B division. Due to schools canceling
soccer programs, it is unclear whether
the three division format will continue
in fall 2013. Hayes soccer looks ready to
compete with a talented pair of strikers,
an experienced midfield, and a veteran
goalkeeper.
The Cardinal Hayes Varsity Football team finished the season
with a 4-3 divisional record and a 5-5 overall record. Hurricane
Sandy forced the cancellation of the lower level seasons after 7
games; however, both the Freshmen and JV finished with 4-3
records. Not unlike many Hayesmen that came before them, the
varsity team traveled to practice this season. New York City Parks
Department officials decided that Franz Sigel Park (located across
the street) could not be used by our freshmen football team. The
freshmen moved onto Duffy field with the JV and the varsity traveled everyday to Pelham Bay Park for practice.
Varsity wins were tallied over Fieldston, Spellman, Bishop Ford,
Christ the King, and St. Peter’s. This propelled us to our 5th
consecutive AA playoff berth. We drew Fordham Prep in the
first round; an excellent game was culminated with Hayes down
by one and attempting a 2 point conversion to win the game with
under 20 seconds to play. The pass attempt was incomplete giving
Fordham the victory. At the Turkey Bowl several days later, we
lost in a game we feel was a very winnable matchup against the
Mount. However, one positive was we started 3 sophomores on
the offensive and defensive lines, which bodes well for the future.
A number of seniors have drawn attention from colleges such as
Princeton, Wesleyan, Union, Ithaca, Rhode Island, and several
other local institutions. National Signing Day is Wednesday,
February 1st and we are looking forward to several of our seniors
making commitments on that day. They will join the over 2
dozen Hayes graduates competing on the college level.
Up Hayes!

Chasing excellence...
Track & Field Needs your help!
Whether you realize it or not, the Cardinal Hayes Track and Field is one
of the elite programs in New York State. The team consistently sends student athletes to the top races/events throughout the region and in many
cases, takes home hardware.
In the past two years the track program has not only grown in size but
also has raised it level of competition. Since 2011, we have finished in the
top 5 in the CHSAA, doing so with fewer coaches and facilities than all
of our competitors. We have fostered an environment that is inviting to
all members of the Hayes Student Body from the athletically gifted to
those just looking for a place to compete. Our team has been a home for
hardworking Hayesmen, who meet the academic challenges and seek a
team where they can feel at home. Our athletes are responsible for higher
academic standards… our team has one of the highest team averages in
the building.
The 2013 season is just about to begin and we have great expectations.
With these expectations we have some wonderful opportunities:
1.
The Hayes Track Team has been invited to Orlando to compete in the Disney Invitational.
2.
We have also been invited to North Carolina to attend the Out
door National Races.
The Hayes Varsity Basketball Team departed for Palm Desert, California the morning after Christmas for our first trip to the
prestigious Max Preps Tournament. It was a long, turbulent, six hour flight that saw us arrive in Los Angeles at 12 noon, Pacific
Time. We then got in our rental vans and took nearly three hour drive to Palm Desert. Between lunch and the bad weather that
we drove through, we arrived at our hotel around 6 PM. We tipped off 3 hours later against 2 time champion Harvard Westlake
and lost a tough 2 point contest. It was quite a long day for our Hayesmen, but they showed great heart as the game ended at
roughly 2AM Eastern Time.
The following day we responded with an emphatic 14 point victory over Dorsey High School from Los Angeles. It was a hard
fought win as we were up only 6 at halftime, but we were able to pull away late. Mustafa Jones had his second big game of the
tournament. Unfortunately, we lost our next contest to an excellent Leuzinger High School Team. We had a rough night at the
free throw line and it became contagious. Finally, we played Miller High School from California in the last game of our trip and
scored a double-digit victory. It was a team win as we had 5 players score in double figures.
Overall, the trip was an exciting one for the young men of Hayes. Many of them had never been to california, including myself,
and it was quite an experience for them. Our Hayesmen were commended quite a few times by the local people on their dress,
behavior, and friendliness. Our alumni base should be proud of the way our student-athletes conducted themselves at the tournament, both on and off the court. As soon as we arrived back in New York, we already had a message waiting for us that we had
been invited back next year to represent our school once again.

Support Hayes Track & Field and their efforts to compete
at the Penn Relays. For a limited time only, the Hayes Super Shirt will be $15 at the school. See Coach Craig Joseph.
Many of the teams within the CHHSA are less competitive than we are
but still make these trips on an annual basis. It is time for Hayes to compete on a national level.
Help the track team by donating online at:
alumni.cardinalhayes.org/athletic-fund
The Needs
The trip to Orlando for 6 athletes and 1 coach is estimated to be $5,130: Fight $2,450, rental car $380, Hotel $1700, Food $600.
The Trip to North Carolina cannot be estimated because the location of the meet has not yet been confirmed. Upon final decision of the location, we will submit a budget.
THE SOLUTION
In order to meet the financial challenge of attending both events, we are asking our alumni, spearheaded by the National Cardinal Hayes Alumni Association and the Track and Field Association, to consider earmarking their 2013 gift to The 650 Fund
for the Track and Field program. All contributions are greatly appreciated, but if you are capable of making a substantial gift of
$500, $1,000, $5,000 or even more, your gift will be designated solely for use within the Track and Field program and acknowledged as a gift to The 650 Fund, Hayes’ Annual Appeal.
Please be assured that the team is not looking for a handout – Coach Craig Joseph has initiated two fundraisers to help raise money for
the team. The first is having the team members sell a specially designed T-shirt, and the second is a Gatorade program. These efforts, at no
expense to the school, along with the support of Hayes alumni, parents and friends will certainly help the team grow and compete on a
national level. It is our intent to make this annual program,

Q&A
with Anthony Polanco '14
Here is a peek into the life of Junior, Anthony Polanco, Class of 2014, current Cardinal Hayes
Varsity Baseball player. The quiet, shy, unassumingly big talent will be a huge asset this season.
It will be very exciting to see what he can bring to the Varsity level. The team has not won a
Championship since 2005 but with the new talent and coaching of Orlando Encarnacion ‘97,
this year looks very promising. Here is my conversation with Anthony Polanco:
RF: What is your Name, Age and Grade?
AP: My name is Anthony Polanco, I am 16
years old and currently in the 11th grade.
RF: What would be your ultimate
achievement?
AP: Bringing a championship to Hayes.
RF: Where do you reside? AP: I live in the Bronx
RF: What is your biggest challenge here
at Hayes, and what do you do to manage
this challenge?
AP: My biggest challenge at Hayes is being
a student-athlete and time management.
After my workouts, I dedicate 2-3 hours
to homework and studying. Sometimes, I
even get to school earlier than usual just to
study.
RF: What is your favorite sport and what
got you started playing? AP: My favorite sport is Baseball. My father
always wanted to be a professional baseball
player but at the age of 11, he got into a car
accident and could no longer fulfill the dream
of playing. He is the reason, I play baseball.
RF: What’s your favorite subject? Why? AP: Math is my favorite subject because I am
good with numbers and it comes easy to me.
RF: What do you do outside of playing
baseball? AP: I like to play Basketball with my friends,
play video games, and workout.
RF: What is your biggest accomplishment
in baseball so far?
AP: Playing on the same field as my idol,
Alex Rodriguez in Yankee Stadium was the
biggest honor but being invited to play there
and performing the way I did was the greatest feeling.
18 |
RF: How are you preparing for the upcoming Spring 2013 Varsity Baseball season?
AP: I do weight training in the Hayes
Weight Room Monday through Thursday
from 4-6pm. I also workout with a personal
trainer 4 times a week from 6:30pm – 8pm.
After I eat dinner and do homework, I also
do 60 push-ups and 60 sit-ups every day.
RF: Have you experienced a breakthrough, and if so, what led to it?
AP: During my sophomore year, I was
struggling with 3 classes. Mr. Jackson,
my biology teacher, freshman coach and
mentor told me to put baseball aside and
focus more on school. Mrs. Guerrero, my
guidance counselor, met with me every day
afterschool to ensure I stayed on task with
my school work. If it weren’t for them I
wouldn’t have developed the study habits
and 85 average I have today.
RF: Bottom of the ninth, down one run,
tying run is at 2nd base, 2 outs and you’re
up to bat, How do you handle that type of
pressure?
AP: I go up to bat with no pressure. There
is no difference between a championship game or a regular season game. I just
expect to perform.
RF: What was the best advice you were
ever given?
AP: My father once told me, don’t try to
be someone else to impress others, just
be yourself. I have seen it firsthand when
some players on my summer league tried
to impress scouts and other coaches, they
almost always fell short.
“I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day
and I dream about it at night. The only time I don’t think about it is when I’m
playing it.”- Carl Yastrzemski
RF: Do you have a saying or motto that
you live your life by?
AP: Don’t let anyone get in between your
dreams.
RF: Where do you draw your inspiration
from and/or is there anyone in particular
that motivates you?
AP: My father is my motivation. He’s always pushing me to do better.
RF: What role does your family play?
AP: My father comes to all my games. He
doesn’t just watch the game, he studies it.
He tells me what I need work on. He’s also
my independent summer league coach, so
we spend lots of time discussing the sport.
RF: What school did you attend before
Hayes and why did you choose to come to
Hayes? AP: I went to Christ the King middle
school on the Grand Concourse. I knew
Hayes was a great school when it came to
studies, athletics, and teaching young boys as
myself, how to become men.
RF: As a student-athlete for Hayes, what
makes you different than a regular student? AP: What makes me different than the regular student is knowing that my day does not
end when the dismissal bell rings.
RF: Anything else you want to add? Or
do you have a message to the Alumni and
Friends of Hayes that will be reading this
publication?
AP: I would like to see more Alumni at our
Baseball games supporting our team. I think
the more fans we have the more they will
motivate us. I understand our games are not
in the most convenient location, but especially, to all former baseball Hayesmen, please
come to at least one game. I would like to
meet and personally thank you.
Here is what the coaches are saying about Anthony:
“Anthony Polanco is a great example of what a student/athlete should be and a
blessing for a coach to have on a team. He’s very respectful, understanding, hard
working, leads by example and is motivated to get better, not only in baseball but as a
student and human being. After meeting Anthony at the beginning of his Sophomore
year, I knew he was a great kid because of his discipline, maturity, and of course his
talent on the baseball field. Anthony continues to work hard off the baseball field, he’s
been really dedicated in finding ways to improve in his studies as well as the weight
room in order to gain strength and speed. As a first year head coach I couldn’t be
happier and more excited to have a student/athlete such as Anthony Polanco. He has
the ability to do great things in life.”
-- Orlando Encarnacion ‘97 (Varsity Head Coach)
In many ways Anthony epitomizes what is best about Hayesmen. He is polite,
hardworking, and even-tempered. After coaching him on the JV team, I am excited
about him actualizing his potential with the bat and the glove as a Varsity Player.”
-- Brother Bill Sherlog (JV Head Coach)

Meet Richard Villar, '14
the 6'6" scholar & athlete
to afford Hayes? Luckily a friend told
me about the “Student Sponsorship
Program.” Fortunately, I was accepted
and assigned a sponsor whom is generous enough to cover most of the tuition
at Hayes.
My name is Richard Villar. I am a
Bronx native, only living a couple
blocks away from Hayes. I live in a
family of four and have been taught to
be disciplined, educated, humble and
grateful for everything. God and my
parents are the lead roles in my life and
the people I look first for advice about
anything. In my household, education
is looked upon as primary and baseball
secondary. My parents tell me that
getting an education is necessary for a
successful career in the future. I’m also
told that baseball should be look as an
activity I look forward in participating
only when my academic performance
is good. Although school and baseball
consume a lot of time I like to spend
time with my family.
I started my academic career at PS MS
218 located on 167 and Gerard Avenue,
just a few blocks away from Hayes. I
spent 9 memorable years there from
kindergarten to 8th grade. Once in 7th
grade going to Hayes was the furthest
thought from my mind and going to
a public highschool was my intention.
During 8th grade, I was introduced
to Hayes via a baseball coach and was
given a tour around the school. At first
sight I liked Hayes and all its facilities,
but what I liked most was that aside
from teaching regular subjects Hayes
also taught spiritually. Once the tour
finished, I realized I wanted to attend
Hayes because Hayes was the spiritual,
educational and athletic environment I
wanted to be in for the next four years
of my life. However, one major issue
did arise, how were my parents going
20 |
My first year at Hayes changed me, I
began to appreciate the blessings God
has given me and see how God is good
all the time. Before Hayes I would take
things for granted and didn’t seriously
care of how important having God is
in one’s life. It has been a humbling
experience that has taught me not only
to excel in school, but outside of school.
I’ve met a wonderful group of people
that have helped me along the way. I’ve
held my education as my top priority
at Hayes and I try to keep a first honor
grade equivalence in all my classes.
Although, there is always room for improvement, I always try to build on the
grades I earn. I currently have a 96.9486
cumulative GPA and am ranked 10th
among 207 students. I tribute my
academic performance on what Hayes
has taught me to be a disciplined and
organized young man. Though Hayes
has made me a better student, it also
has contributed in making me a better
baseball player as well.
Hayes baseball has played a big role in
building my confidence and helping me
believe that I’m capable of doing great
things in life. Playing baseball at Hayes
means a lot to me, it is the time I most
look forward to in my day. I played
junior varsity baseball as a freshman
and played varsity baseball as a sophomore and now as a junior. My freshman
year at the junior varsity level I earned
the student-athlete award. In sophomore year I earned the team’s hardest
worker at the varsity level. If I can name
something the baseball program has
taught me, is that talent can only take
you so far and there has to be a second
component; how hard you work. Hard
work is crucial if you want to be top
dog or maintain yourself at a high level
of performance because you don’t want
anyone else to come and take your spot.
There are always people out there that
are more talented and it’s up to you to
work hard and perform at the highest level. I am a pitcher and during the
season I try to stay in shape and keep
my grades up while still eating right to
perform to the top of my ability. During
the offseason I try to get myself in the
best shape I possibly can, so that I’m
ready to compete during the season.
2013 SPRING SCHEDULE
Being a pitcher requires a lot of anaerobic exercises, especially for the legs.
Because pitching is an explosive movement and most of the strength comes
from the legs.
At Hayes I’ve met a great number of
people including teachers, coaches,
and other faculty members that have
motivated me to continue working
hardat at everything I do. I’ve developed
a good and respectful relationship with
the coaches especially Coach Sciebe,
Coach Encarnacion, Coach Jackson and
Coach Fulco. They’ve taught me how to
become a better baseball player at this
level and frequently talk to me about
what it takes to get to the next level.
My years so far at Hayes have been a
life changing experience and the year’s
left I believe are going to be extraordinary. I have nothing but good things to
say about Hayes, not only influencing
me as a student and athlete, but above
all as an individual.

Chhs National Alumni Association
which has grown steadily every
year. Whatever the reason, or
the venue, it’s always good to get
back to Hayes.
The Cardinal Hayes National Alumni
Association (DMV ) Chapter is expanding through the efforts of several dedicated Hayesmen in NYC and various
parts of the country.
In Boston the New England Chapter of Hayesmen met in December to
celebrate Hayes Spirit and Christmas
Cheer. We gathered at Vintage Lounge
in the heart of Boston and talked about
Hayes experiences and ways to better
help the school believe the same quality
education. We had graduates attend
from the classes of 1962 through 2003.
We also had an alumnus make the trip
from New Hampshire, which is roughly
one hour away.
ALUMNI NEWS

The Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia
Chapter reconvened with their annual
Christmas brunch on Sunday, December 12th, 2012. Alumni have been
meeting for many years, and recently
decided to tackle another endeavor:
playing host to Fr. Joseph P. Tierney
and the select students in the nation’s
capital. The Students were able to absorb a few historic landmarks as well as
visit Capitol Hill where they met, and
were able to take a picture with, Congressman Serrano. Get involved with
the Hayes DMV Chapter today!
The origin of the Hayes Alumni Association is rooted in New York City. For
more than 30 years, dedicated groups of
men have been supporting the school
through the Hayes Hall of Fame Dinner Dance, The Hayes Golf Outing, not
to mention the countless donations and
work done for the school at little to no
cost. Most recently the NY Chapter of
Hayesmen have revamped the alumni
sports day by adding football to the day
and also launch Hayes Homecoming,
In Mid-America, Hayes alumni
Dan Healy ‘49 and Dennis Healy
‘50 (not related), have laid the
ground work for Hayes to launch
another chapter for alumni in 2013.
If you are looking to connect with fellow Hayesmen in the Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, or Wisconsin areas, we encourage you to contact
the school and be on the lookout for
more Hayes News coming out of the
Mid-West.
Many Hayesmen have found solace in
migrating south to the Sunshine State.
Whether it is for higher education, career advancement, retirement or seasonal
living, they have called Florida home for
decades. Taking into consideration the
geography of the state, we are looking
for men who are willing and able to be
the organizers for the chapters in North,
Central and South Florida. If you are
interested, contact the alumni office. The
reward is greater is greater than the work
involved.
We announced the launch of the Hayes
Football Chapter at homecoming in
October of 2012. We had roughly 30
Hayes football alumni in attendance at
the pregame BBQ and football game,
all eager to increase their support of the
Hayes football program. Run in conjunction with the NY Chapter Hayes
will look forward to marching onward
to a full functioning support system for
Hayes football.
The Hayes Alumni Track Association
has been operating for almost 30 years.
As one of our most experienced groups,
we lean on the ATA to assist Hayes in
defraying the cost of uniforms for the
students. They also use their funds raised
for tuition assistance in specific cases and
for special event like the Penn Relays,
State Championships, and of course the
Hayes Invitational. To get involved with
the Hayes invitational or to support the
Hayes Alumni Track Association, contact Bob Burns ’69.
Since Hayes’ basketball resurgence in
the CHSAA ‘AA’, the Cardinals have
become instantly competitive, reaching
the semi-finals in the playoffs of the
City Championship last season. The
rebirth of the Hayes basketball program has brought the school national
attention which has led to invites to the
Kreul Classic in Florida, as well as the
MaxPreps Tournament in California,
and the SNY Tournament in NYC
where the Cardinals will face Long Island Lutheran in the first round. If you
are a basketball alumnus and would like
to support the current Hayes Basketball
program and join the Basketball Chapter, please contact the alumni office and
find out how.
For all alumni looking to get involved
in an existing chapter or start a new
chapter, please contact, Trevon Blondet

Builds and develops a stronger and more consistent base of donors.
Helps establish new habits and patterns of giving by a regular solicitation process.
Informs, involves and bonds all alumni, administrators, parents, faculty, and friends.

Over the past few years, Cardinal Hayes HS has been blessed with a generous
couple who have taken the school under their wing. Joanne and Kevin Reed are
clearly the epitome of “Friends of Hayes”. The Reeds have been helping Hayes in
countless ways throughout the years- whether backing the first Cardinal Hayes
Lacrosse team, sponsoring a number of students with tuition support, helping with
Admission marketing ads or sponsoring field trips to Washington DC (to name
just a few), Joann and Kevin have made the most substantial impact in financial
support over last two years.
The entire Hayes family is thankful for Joann and Kevin Reed’s dedication to and
support of Cardinal Hayes. Your friendship is gratefully appreciated!

our progress and hear first-hand
news from the leaders of the

Cardinal Hayes.
Please note that contributions of any size
are graciously accepted. The number of
individuals who participate is a significant
factor in attracting talented students and
faculty, and influencing corporate and foundation grant support. Our success in gaining
recognition as THE leader in Catholic High
School education consistently will be made
possible by the generous support of foundations, corporations, and most importantly,
our community of alumni, parents and
friends. In essence, any gift increases the
perception and value of the Cardinal Hayes
experience.
Hayes Legacy Society Appeal
Ensuring Our Future through the Hayes Legacy
Charitable gift planning, sometimes called "planned giving," means making a charitable gift of estate assets to one or more nonprofit organizations
like Cardinal Hayes through the Cardinal and Gold Fund. It presents all members of the Hayes family—alumni and friends—an opportunity to make
a substantial gift that is arranged now and paid later. By naming Cardinal Hayes in your will or trust, you will provide a lasting gift that will greatly
help Hayes and its students. With an increasing number of our benefactors taking this approach, we hope to attain more than 500 participants in our
Legacy Appeal over the next five years.
SEE HOW EASY IT IS…
Consider remembering Cardinal Hayes in your will or trust. Gift planning benefits you today and Hayes forever.
You can make a bequest for a specific dollar amount or for a percentage of your estate. Many individuals establish endowments that honor the
memory of a family member or another loved one. These endowments live forever, since only the income is used annually. Since a will is an
important legal document, you should seek an attorney's help. To assist you with this important process, we offer some suggested bequest wording
below.
The following are some examples of various types of bequests:
a.
Specific bequests are used to make a gift of a specific dollar amount or specific assets, such as
securities, real estate, or personal property.
b.
Residuary bequests are used to give all or a portion of the rest, residue, and remainder of your estate
after payment of expenses and any specific amounts designated to other beneficiaries.
Including Cardinal Hayes High School in your Will
Each individual situation is unique and, therefore, these examples include only some of the possible gift
opportunities. We encourage you to share your final will provision with Cardinal Hayes to ensure that
your wishes will be properly followed and recognized.

Hayesmen coming together
Jeremiah Kobena ‘10
Returns to the Bronx
On December 29th 2012, Hayesman
Jeremiah Kobena ’10 returned to the
Bronx to play football. This time he
was not breaking explosive plays for
Hayes against Mount St. Michael on
Thanksgiving in the Turkey Bowl; he
was wearing the Orange and Blue of
Syracuse University and playing in none
other than the New Yankee Stadium,
against the Mountaineers of West
Virginia, days before New Year’s Eve,
in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. As Familiar as Hayes is with Mount, Syracuse
and West Virginia, former Big East foes
share that same familiarity.
Bronxite Doug Marrone and his SU
roster, with more than two dozen NYC
players, marched into the New Yankee
Stadium and defeated WVU 38-14, to
capture the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl Title
in their final season in the Big East. In
2013, Syracuse will make the move to
the ACC to face stiffer competition and
hopefully get a bigger cut of the television contract than a depleting Big East.
2012 Homecoming
Freshman Field Day
Turkey Bowl
Kobena, after exploding onto the college football scene as a kick returner
in his freshman year, seized his opportunity in his sophomore campaign,
after injuries sidelined a fellow starting
receiver. On the season, Kobena led the
Orange in receiving average (24.7 yards
per catch), eating up big chunks of yards
per reception, until he too was sidelined
due to injury.
Orange quarterback Ryan Naasib targeted Jeremiah on a couple of deep passes
during the Pinstripe Bowl to stretch West
Virginia’s already porous defense. West
Virginia’s kicker made sure to kick away
from the speedster from Hayes. On his
one kick return of the game, a miscue by
the kicker, Jeremiah managed to find a
seam and burst for 22 yards on the snow
dusted field of Yankee Stadium, home of
the Bronx Bombers.
It was great seeing a Hayesman on one
of the biggest sports stages in NYC, once
again. Though the stadium is new, and
now across the street, the history that is
Yankee Stadium is still there. From Papal
visits, to historic boxing matches, and
of course the 1985 Hayes City Baseball
Champions, Yankee Stadium has always
been a favorite place for many Hayesmen.

Mashburn Named Kentucky ’s
2013 SEC Basketball Legend
On Saturday, October 20th 2012, Cardinal Hayes High School hosted its annual
homecoming football game at SUNY
Maritime College in Throggs Neck,
NY. The Hayes football team took on
the Cougars of St. John the Baptist in
a tough contest that came down to the
final drive before the Cardinal’s fell to the
Cougars. What made this Homecoming
extra special was the halftime introduction of Hayes’ former football players in
attendance. In an effort to kick off the
Cardinal Hayes Alumni Football Chapter,
roughly 30 Hayes alumni came out as a
sign of solidarity and support of Cardinal
Hayes and the Hayes Football Program.
26 |
The Alumni Track Association put
together another successful Freshman
Field Day at Hayes to start the school
year and indoor season off, and the introduce the underclassmen to the world
of Track & Field. For many of them, it’s
the first time they have thrown a shot
put or tried to properly long jump. Each
year the ATA facilitates this intramural
meet pitting each freshman homeroom
against the other, for HR supremacy.
If you would like to participate in the
Alumni Track Association, please register
to https://alumni.cardinalhayes.org and/
or contact, Trevon Blondet ’94, Alumni
Director at Tblondet@cardinalhayes.org .
The (4-3) Cardinal Hayes Cardinals and
the (4-4) Mount St. Michael Mountaineers laced up the cleats once again in the
Hayes vs. Mount Turkey Bowl, on Thanksgiving Morning. Coming off disappointing
losses in the playoffs, both teams mustered
up the strength and fortitude to reignite
one of the true Bronx rivalries left in
sports. Thousands are always in attendance
and most are Hayesmen. As the Cardinals
reload for next season, after losing stand
out senior leadership from, Mamadou Bah
’13, Khalil Collier ’13 and George Dawson
’13, it’s important to show our support doe
these excellent student athletes all season
long. Check out our website for schedules
and updates.
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Former Kentucky
All-America selection Jamal Mashburn
has been tabbed as Kentucky’s Southeastern Conference Basketball Legend
and will be honored at this year’s SEC
Tournament being held in Nashville,
Tennessee.
A three-time All-SEC selection, Mashburn finished his career with 1,843
points, fourth most in school history at
the time. Voted the 1993 SEC Player of
the Year, Mashburn was selected fourth
overall in the 1993 NBA Draft by the
Dallas Mavericks.
A two-time All-America pick during
his three years at Kentucky, Mashburn
was the cornerstone of UK’s return to
the elite of college basketball. He was
selected consensus first-team AllAmerica in the 1993 season when he
helped lead the Wildcats to the Final
Four where he was named to the AllFinal Four Team.
Each SEC Basketball Legend will be
recognized at halftime of his institution’s
first game at the tournament.
This marks the 15th year of the SEC
Basketball Legends program.

YOU CAN MAKE A LIFE-CHANGING DIFFERENCE
WITH A GIFT TO HAYES.
Why Give?
To Change Lives for the Better
What better investment can any of us make than supporting the hopes and dreams of
a young person? For students who can’t afford a private education, the future can look
bleak. But you can make a life-changing difference with a gift to Hayes.
To Strengthen Hayes
By contributing to scholarship aid, you lessen the need for Hayes to dip into operating
funds to provide financial assistance to students.
To Set an Example
We’ve seen it over and over again. The student who receives a scholarship today becomes
the donor to a scholarship tomorrow. Your gift can establish a chain of philanthropy that
extends far beyond your lifetime.
To Make a Gift That Lasts
With an endowed scholarship, you can create a fund that is invested each year, producing
annual income used for scholarship aid. The principal remains intact, ensuring that the
fund continues in perpetuity.
