Annual Success at the Jim Kelly Memorial Scholarship Reverse Raffle
Date Posted: May 26, 2010

The Jim Kelly Memorial Scholarship Reverse Raffle – Silent Auction was held at Guy’s Party Centre on May 20, 2010. It was an “Elegant Evening of Dining and “Bonne Chance”. Once again, this annual event was sold out. Jerry Kelly and her volunteers worked tirelessly to present another successful raffle in memory of her husband, Jim Kelly V50.

Joanne Zaratsian, Director of Major Gifts, thanked Jerry and congratulated her on the support she has provided to STVM students through Jim's scholarship. To date, 112 incoming freshman have received the Jim Kelly Memorial Scholarship. Jerry Kelly is always quick to point out to her guests that it is not just ‘her’ scholarship. Every one who supports the Jim Kelly Memorial Reverse Raffle has played an important role and made the difference in the lives of his scholarship recipients.

Joanne commented, “Jerry has always been leading the way with the scholarship program! Ten years ago we only had about ten scholarships and now we can boast 41 scholarships with seven in the funding stages including a new scholarship established by the Class of 2010.”
