Dear Friend of JREF,

The winner of the raffle is … Sally H. from Wyncote, PA!!!

Sally is a Bryn Mawr College graduate and mother of three.  She has reserved a week in June for her family at Villa Cardinale, in Lucca, Tuscany, and they are very excited – especially as it is the first time any of them have seen Florence!  Their enthusiasm is contageous. Congratulations, Sally!

The drawing took place in the capital city, Kampala, Uganda on March 20th and was covered on Ugandan TV. Out of a total of almost $18,000 raised by the Foundation, Friends of Doorways contributed more than $8,000!

Everyone has been unbelievably kind and generous. Four Awards of Excellence were given in Mathematics, Science, English and Chemistry. And two Italian owners are interested in participating next year if JREF wants to have another raffle!

The members of the board of JREF are excited about the possibilities that this opens up, not only for projects and scholarships that can take place now, but also for setting a precedent that may help the Foundation receive grant funding in the future.

We are all deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity.
