Over the past 20 years, the Carlin Nalley Foundation has awarded over a quarter million dollars in scholarships. Please help us to sustain this worthwhile effort.
Dear Lisle Alumni Brothers and Sisters,
It was so joyful to see so many of you at our All-Years Reunion on October 15th. Thank you for making the trip to Lisle to see your lifelong friends and celebrate with us. After taking a deep breath, we will plan the next reunion (“AY6”) to determine if it will be in 2026 or 2027. The CNF Board that brought you AY5 is immensely proud of being Lisle Alumni and honored to create such a meaningful gathering of our favorite people in the world in our beloved hometown. We were again honored to toast to the memory of our inspiration and foundation namesake, Coach Carlin Nalley, who was very much with us in the spirit when we sang “On Ye Lions” together.
In addition to bringing all of us together for social events like reunions and the golf outing, The Lisle Alumni Carlin Nalley Foundation’s primary mission is to create and fund significant academic scholarships so that Lisle students may realize their educational dreams after high school. Thanks to your generous annual contributions to the program, in May of 2022, we awarded eight $4,000 scholarships for a total of $32,000. This was the most significant scholarship amount ever. I appreciate your partnership with CNF, which provides life-changing academic opportunities to deserving Lisle High School students. Thank you so much for creating opportunities for these terrific Lisle kids.
Please support us by donating to the student at Lisle High School Class of 2023. Our Partners for Excellence fundraising program relies on your generosity, loyalty to Lisle High School, and enthusiasm for our mission to sustain and grow this unique CNF scholarship program. We aspire to increase our scholarships for the eleventh consecutive year and are counting on you, the fantastic alumni, collaborating with us to make it happen. Our goal is to raise $40,000 before the end of the year to grow the program again.
There are multiple ways in which you can donate that maximize the benefits to you and the students you support. We ask for your contributions so that we may give back even more to Lisle High School in 2023.
Thank you again for being with us and supporting our foundation and Lisle High School and wishing you a healthy and happy end to 2022 and all the best in 2023.
Regards,
John Bartels, Class of ‘85
