ANNOUNCEMENTS

JFK High School Alumni Community Celebration of Life Fund

With the heartbreaking passing of every classmate, the JFK high school alumni community has been moved to establish an ongoing GoFundMe collection in order to extend our collective acknowledgements to the families of our friends.

When we learn of the death, illness, etc. of one of our “family members”, the fund will already exist and we can send a card, flowers, or a contribution to a charity specifically requested by the family. We encourage you to donate today and throughout the year. Whatever you are moved to contribute is appreciated.

This idea is in its infancy and will evolve as we move ahead. Donations are welcome on an ongoing basis to continue to replenish the fund.

DONATE HERE:

https://www.gofundme.com/f/jfk-celebration-of-life-fund?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer

The fund is overseen and managed by Terri Holley (‘82), Lisa Hedgepeth (‘80) and Carlton Phillips. Felicia Barlow Clar is a liaision for the Class of '81.

 

The Fellas JFK Annual Reunion

This fund came together through Carlton Phillips and "The Fellas JFK Annual Reunion" he hosts and the community he has gathered. He graciously invites all Kennedy alum every year to attend.

Carlton Phillip's latest party was held September 19, 2025 in Upper Marlboro, MD. He and a core group of friends have done an incredible job for decades keeping the Kennedy spirit alive. Stay tuned for the 2026 date.
