Dear “Pause for Coz” Committee Members, We cannot express our gratitude enough for your time and efforts, helping to make this scholarship a success. We are grateful for your devotion to this wonderful cause and your enthusiasm in helping to recognize such an incredible man. You are assisting us in building a legacy that will be shared and remembered amongst our students and faculty for years to come. The Coz scholarship is now endowed and will serve students in perpetuity. Currently, over 245 families have participated in giving to the Endowed Scholarship, with over 280 individual alumni making contributions. The dollar amount we have raised to date, excluding verbal pledges, exceeds $165,000. Congratulations on your efforts in reaching this incredible number! It is our sincerest hope that we can reach an even higher goal by spring reunions and homecoming. Due to everyone’s generosity, we will be awarding two scholarships this academic year. We hope to provide recipient names by the Spring Reunion Homecoming Weekend. Furthermore, we want to encourage those who have given to renew their commitment for the 2007-2008 fiscal year. By doing so, the Father Coz Endowed Scholarship will not only meet the needs of two students this academic year but will have the means to provide for a third student in 2008-2009. In order for this to happen, we hope to reach our next milestone of $300,000 by spring of 2008. With tuition at $33,000 this fiscal year, our scholarship aid will definitely be a welcomed financial contribution. Please visit our website, www.pauseforcoz.com, for further information and to see additional details about the Father Coz Endowed Scholarship. We could not do this without you. Your help and support is priceless, and we want to thank you again for all you have done. We encourage you to spread the word further, making this as memorable as possible for Father Coz. One of us will be getting back in contact with you to confirm who you will speak with in the coming year or feel free to email us a list of names of those whom you want to contact. Thanks again for your commitment to the Coz! Best, Steve Erbst ‘88 serbst@pauseforcoz.com
