Paying it forward for EMHS graduates

John Blaess Memorial Scholarship

Did you know there's a scholarship in memory of our class president, John Blaess?  Some of your classmates started a scholarship that has been providing funds to Edmond Memorial graduates since 2005.  If you'd be interested in donating to this scholarship it's as easy as going to Oklahoma City Community Foundation (fcsuite.com) and searching for "John Blaess Memorial Scholarship".  We are trying to raise $15k to increase the scholarship foundation to $40k which will increase the longevity of funds available to Memorial graduates. On behalf of my dad and our family thank you for your donation and remembrance of John and the legacy of the class of 1982. 

- John J "Jack" Blaess

 

As of December 1, 2021, the foundation agreed to match up to $5,000.  So effective immediately, "Any donations made into the John Blaess Memorial Scholarship until June 30, 2022, will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Oklahoma City Community Foundation up to $5,000."

The ways to give below:

Online: https://occf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create?funit_id=2303

Checks: Oklahoma City Community Foundation

            PO Box 1146

            Oklahoma City, OK 73102

We've got a great opportunity to make some great progress towards getting to $40K in the fund and doubling the scholarship from $1K to $2K every year!
