Giving Tuesday isn’t just a global day of generosity—it’s a moment when communities pause, reflect, and choose to make a difference. Here in Lisle, one of the most powerful ways to create real impact is by supporting our students through the Carlin Nalley Foundation’s Year-End Scholarship Campaign.
In 2026, this effort becomes even more meaningful:
Every CNF scholarship will increase to $5,000.
That means your Giving Tuesday gift will go farther, help more deeply, and directly shape a student’s future.
Why Your Giving Tuesday Support Matters
Lisle High School students continue to impress us with their humility, determination, and character. But as the cost of college and trade programs rises, financial support becomes a critical factor in helping these young people pursue their goals without overwhelming burdens.
Your Generosity Powers:
Real Stories. Real Futures.
If you’ve followed the Lisle Alumni Blog, you’ve read inspiring stories like Allison Doering’s, celebrating her accomplishments as an outstanding female athlete and Jones/Beato Award winner. These stories remind us why CNF exists: to lift up excellence, to honor student achievement, and to invest in the future of the community we love.
Your Giving Tuesday participation turns the next student’s story into a success story.
A Tradition of Excellence Worth Preserving
For decades, the Carlin Nalley Foundation has honored the legacy of Carlin Nalley by supporting students who reflect the values that built this community—service, hard work, leadership, and a commitment to being the best version of oneself.
Your donation is more than a financial gift.
It is an act of belief.
An act of encouragement.
And an expression of deep Lisle pride.
During the Year-End Campaign, every gift matters—and Giving Tuesday is the perfect moment to join in.
