EPHS Reunion Committees Invited to Phone-a-thon

Scholarship Foundation of East Providence will hold its 25th annual phone-a-thon on March 12 and 13 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Nordson EFD, 40 Catamore Boulevard, East Providence. Representatives from East Providence High School reunion committees are invited to the phone-a-thon to help raise funds for a scholarship in the name of their class. Last year, the Class of 1952 raised more than $10,000; the Class of 1964 raised more than $4,000; and the Class of 1955 raised more than $3,000 in scholarships. Also participating were the Classes of 1950, 1962, 1965, 1973, 1974 and 1985. Together, EPHS alumni classes raised more than $25,000 in scholarships. Class representatives are asked to bring contact information – names, addresses and phone numbers of classmates throughout the United States.

“As we celebrate our 50th year of community service, this is a great opportunity for East Providence High School alumni to give back to the community,” notes Phone-a-thon Chairman Louise Paiva. Classes that will be celebrating a special reunion year – 50th, 40th, 25th, 10th – can kick off their special year with this fundraising event. To boost their effort, as part of the phone-a-thon, the Carter Family Fund will match the first $45,000 in contributions received. As a non-profit charitable organization, all contributions made through Scholarship Foundation of East Providence are tax-deductible.

Interested EPHS reunion class members can contact Louise Paiva at 401-433-3463 or email sfofeastprovidence@yahoo.com by March 1 to register to participate.
