THANK YOU TO DONORS REPORT TO THE PICKERING COLLEGE COMMUNITY 2018-2019

45 THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY

We appreciate the opportunity to recognize the incredible generosity of our parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends who have donated to Pickering College. Your support and generosity ensure that our students continue to benefit from the opportunities that a Pickering College education provides. Your gifts benefit the students attending today, and they will have an impact on future generations of students, by ensuring a legacy of excellence in education.

In this issue of The Pillars we are featuring a very special alumnus. Jim Spring ’47 has had a monumental impact on our community. Jim’s legacy lives on through the Spring Scholars he and his scholarship fund have supported and continue to support. Over the years, Jim has also made significant contributions to our campus, including the 40’s Student Lounge.

Jim impacted our Light The Way campaign with a very significant leadership donation. His legacy is felt throughout the hallways of Pickering College and in the students he has touched with his generosity. Jim often spoke of his time at Pickering College, the love of his school and the lifelong impact it had on him. He believed that it helped shaped him as a person and he felt a responsibility to provide the same opportunity for future generations of Pickering students to embrace that passion.

Jim’s dedication is an inspiration to us all. He reminds us that we all have a unique role to play in the present and future of Pickering College. Annual donations, bequests, capital gifts, attendance and sponsorship at signature events and the Light The Way campaign all offer you a unique opportunity to find your personal way to provide support to the school and the outstanding education Pickering College provides to our students.

Donating today ensures that our facilities, unique learning opportunities, financial aid, facilities enhancement and so much more keep Pickering College on the leading edge of world-class education. Your giving demonstrates the care you have for our students and their future. We are grateful for your continued support and generosity.

With kindest regards,

Peter Sturrup Kelly Mason Head of School Chair, Board of Directors

59 GENERATIONS OF GIVING TO PC

Steve Widdrington’s association with PC started before he was even born. As the grandson of Gerry Widdrington, Assistant Headmaster under Joe McCulley from 1927-1939, the Widdrington family was destined to be connected to Pickering College for generations to come. PC alumni include Steve’s uncle Peter Widdrington ’48, and his father Michael Widdrington ’55. Steve says attending Pickering College was a foregone conclusion but one he is very grateful for. “I only spent two years at Pickering but it was probably the best two years of my life. When I come back, I walk into the school and I feel everything I felt 37 years ago. It is just a very special feeling. It’s the grounds. It’s the people.”

Steve regularly visited Pickering College following graduation in 1983, returning for events such as Sports Day, and stayed connected to a close-knit circle of friends. He has been involved in various volunteer roles, including with the annual PC Golf tournament, Gala, sitting on the Board, and currently on the Corporation. “I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t have a passion for the school. I believe in the school, I believe in the people, the kids and what they are doing in school, and Peter. If I didn’t believe in that I wouldn’t be doing that. I am not a millionaire but every little bit counts. I have been donating for a number of years, it is just second nature now. I continue to press my fellow alumni to do whatever they can.”

Steve encourages others to stay connected to PC—whether they are new grads, or older alumni. “When I present the Widdrington award at graduation I am blessed to have all the graduating students there—and I tell them not to forget—don’t forget what you’ve built at the school. Don’t forget your friends. Don’t forget your teachers. Don’t forget what got you to the next step. Keep that fire alive. Keep supporting the school any way you can.”

Gerry Widdrington Peter, Michael and Stephen Widdrington in the 1980s
