EPHS ALUMNI INVITED TO SUPPORT CLASS SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarship Foundation of East Providence will hold its annual phone-a-thon from February 1 to 8 Alumni of East Providence High School (EPHS) are invited to make a contribution in honor of their year of graduation.
Last year, the EPHS Class of 1964 raised more than $8,000 and the Class of 1973 raised more than $6,300 in scholarships. Also participating were the Classes of 1950, 1955, 1962, 1965, 1974 and 1978.
Together, EPHS alumni classes raised more than $18,000 in scholarships.
“The phone-a-thon is a great opportunity for East Providence High School alumni to give back to the community,” notes Scholarship Foundation of East Providence President Joseph Durand. 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, the Carter Fund at the Rhode Island Foundation will match the first $50,000 in phone-a-thon contributions received.
