Central High School of Philadelphia’s 248th class

Our 248 gift to Central is waiting on you. We need just 50 248ers to make a $20 donation each and our project to place a plaque near room 248 in the school will be complete. Reunion committee members have already raised almost $400 out of our own pockets. Surely you can donate $20 to Central? If so, please use the ChipIn at the top-right of this page to make your donation via credit or debit card.

Almost $4,000 Left Over

Although we intentionally kept ticket prices low, a lot of folks bought tickets at the door at the highest price, leaving us with a hefty surplus. Here’s a summary of the leftover funds.

$850.00 in cash from the reunion itself held by Jo Ann
$3,084.00 in a dedicated interest-bearing bank account held by me (George)
== $3,934.00

A Lasting Token of our Support for Central

The plaque will be a lasting token of our support for the school, a reminder of our 20th reunion and something you can admire each time you and your kids visit the school. We’re very close to the goal and only need $20 each from 50 of us. Will you join us in helping the school? Make your donation via credit or debit card here:

Apologies for the Delay

Please forgive me for the slight delay in attending to this matter. After 14 months of working on the reunion, I had to set it aside briefly as I attended to matters previously neglected. Thanks for your patience and please post your thoughts and pledges in the comments below. My $300 personal donation is already in the pot. Where’s yours?

Oh, and Happy New Year 248!
