John's Technology Fund

Recall earlier posts here, here, and here, with respect to the technology fund established at Mother Catherine Spalding School in rural Southern Maryland as a part of John's continuing legacy. This part of John's bequest continues to grow exponentially, as does his impact on the lives of so many others. Earlier, over $50,000 in contributions had been made to John's fund. Since then, contributions continue to be forthcoming. In addition to a number of individuals who have contributed to John's fund in memory of his Papa as indicated in this link, Mike and Gina, in memory of their "everlasting bro," have contributed $30.00 to John's technology fund in the name of each attendee at their wedding for a total of almost $3,000.00.

In addition to the above, as an extension of their mission to provide comfort, Georgetown University Hospital has contributed an "unrestricted donation of $25,000 to the technology fund established in John's memory at Mother Catherine Spalding School."

All together, the technology fund in John's memory is now in excess of $80,000. As Mike says, this fund will allow the "big geek to foster a lot of little geeks."

Words cannot express the gratitude we feel in response to the extraordinary generosity of so many who have enabled the continuation of John's legacy with respect to youth who share John's love of technology.

Go Geeks!
