ATHLETIC AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS 2013-14 Annual Newsletter
n
49th Edition
From the Chairman
S
ince the inception of our Foundation in 1944, we have provided promising students an opportunity to enter the Naval Academy via our preparatory school program. Our program has sponsored more than 3,800 deserving candidates to the Naval Academy over the years and today we have 250 Foundation students within the Brigade of Midshipmen. Equally important, and in consonance with our mission to maintain and enhance the Academy’s Athletic Excellence (AE), we provide critical financial support to all Physical Mission areas—club, intramural and varsity athletic programs.We also support athletic programs at the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) in Newport, RI. Our Foundation, which includes Trustees, emeriti, friends and Foundation parents, was an integral part of the last $250-million-plus comprehensive campaign to support the U.S. Naval Academy. In fact, our small group alone contributed more than $41 million towards the campaign goal, thereby continuing our tradition of relevance and responsiveness to the Academy. To preserve this tradition of support, a Fund for Athletic Excellence was established. Athletic Excellence is now our primary fundraising focus;
it’s the lifeblood of the organization. We ask all our Trustees to support this important program. Most classes have now included the Athletic Excellence fund as part of their ongoing class fundraising projects and Trustees are including AE in their estate plans. It’s a group effort! The strength and vitality of our organization continues as evidenced by the induction of the following 19 new Trustees, whom we welcomed at our fall and spring meetings: Chairman RADM Tom Lynch ’64, USN (Ret.)
Marc Baliotti ’92 Adam Borcz ’01 CAPT T.R. Buchanan ’92, USN CAPT Tom Burbage ’69, USNR (Ret.) Jerry Dawson ’91 Tom Fricke ’81 CDR T.J.
