Financial aid for families wishing to send their sons to Moeller is one of our school’s biggest challenges. In this 2013-14 school year alone, we were able to only meet 47% of the demonstrated need on the part of our families applying for financial aid. Simply put, I can think of no more imminent threat to the long-term viability of Moeller High School than an inability to keep our amazing community available to as many families as possible. Rarely does your generosity have so much potential to impact others. Together with other alumni, parents, past parents, faculty, staff and friends, your presence here tonight and your support of our Main Event Fund-A-Need create a vital and absolutely necessary resource for Moeller. To our co-chairs, Rich & Kathy Chennell and Tim & Lynda Mackey, all our house parents and executive volunteer chairs, I offer a very heartfelt thank you! Your willingness and ability to take on this challenge and support our mission is the dedication that many schools and organizations can only dream about. I’d also like to thank the entire development team, especially Louise Hoelker, Betsy Morgan, and Jenny Lefke for their commitment to Moeller and our Main Event. This year has brought on many unique challenges for them, but there wasn’t a day that they didn’t offer additional assistance for a project or strive to make this particular gathering of the Moeller Family a night worthy of our extraordinary Men of Moeller. Thank you for the gift that is you and all you do for Moeller High School. Bill Hunt President Matching Challenge $205,000! We are again blessed to have an anonymous donor for our 2014 Main Event Matching Challenge of $205,000! Raise your paddles during the Fund-A-Need portion of our Live Auction and a very generous donor will match dollar for dollar when we reach $205,000! We want any young man who dreams of becoming a Man of Moeller to be able to do so without having a family’s financial situation be the only deterrent. For one third of our families, that choice to become a Man of Moeller depends on the generosity of others. Last year alone, more than $1,000,000 was awarded in the form of scholarships and financial assistance. The Fund-A-Need allows every guest to make a direct cash donation benefiting tuition assistance at Moeller High School. Help us reach our goal by raising your paddle at this year’s Main Event! This is an excellent opportunity to Make A Difference For A Crusader ! 2 Dear Moeller Family, Thank you for giving us a chance to co-chair the 2014 Main Event! It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with the Moeller staff and volunteers for such a terrific cause. We really didn’t know anyone coming into Moeller. We now count the past eight years (Chad ’10 and Cody ’14) as the best and most enjoyable years of raising our children. The key, for both student and parent, is to get involved! We got involved, met people that will be lifelong friends and who embraced us into the Moeller family like we never could have imagined. Moeller has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is like sitting in a nice cozy family room versus schools that feel like a formal, sterile doctor’s office. For these and many more reasons, we are eternally grateful for what Moeller has offered our sons. Moeller has so many different opportunities to participate for both the students and parents. Our boys have been able to participate in the learning language differences program. If Moeller didn’t offer this program, our boys would have attended the local public school and might not have turned into the fine young men they are today. Chad and Cody have been able to participate in a variety of volun- teer activities, the Australian Exchange Program, and four different varsity sports. Thank you for being a part of this great school and your support of the Men of Moeller. We are all making a difference – you did to- night, just by being here. Tim and Lynda Mackey Cody ‘14, Lynda, and Tim Mackey To All Members of Our Moeller Family, We are thrilled to work as co-chairs for the 2014 Main Event. When our boys (Ian and Will ’14) were in 7th grade, we met Bro. Ron at an informal gathering. We talked with parents and Moeller students that night and we will never forget how inviting and kind everyone was to our family. It was clear to us that this well-established and respected academic school could offer much more to our family. As we got closer to making that “high school decision,” our boys knew that the excitement they witnessed at Moeller was distinctly different than other area schools. Our boys loved the house system, the diversity, and just felt more com- fortable at Moeller. They knew it was the best fit for them and their sense of belonging (and ours) was immediate. Ian and Will have played many different sports. They got involved with Shantytown and Relay for Life, among other volunteer programs. They have grown so much from these activities and made lifelong friends. There is virtually an ed- ucational need and interest for each – in a very challenging and competitive environment. The Moeller community we found is something that will last a life- time for us. From the tailgating nights to the fashion shows - we have gained far more out of these four years than we could have ev- er envisioned. It has been a great four years and we could not have asked for anything more for Ian and Will. Thank you for being part of our “Make a Difference” year for Moeller High School…you will make a difference!
