Cardinal O'Hara High School 35-Year Reunion


Donna, Teresa, and I are excited about our upcoming 35-Year COHS reunion and hope you are too! Thanks to the tremendous help from classmates Kevin and Andi Murphy, we are holding our reunion from 6-10 pm on Saturday, May 21, 2022, at Aronimink Golf Club, a private platinum golf club located at 3600 St Davids Rd, Newtown Square, PA 19073. The ticket cost is $60 and includes a plethora of butlered and stationary appetizers. (Drinks are extra.) The deadline to buy your ticket is May 13, 2022.


As my husband says, our younger years are like the thin side of a baseball bat. As our experiences grow, we gain more knowledge, and the one side of the baseball bat gets fatter. But we never forget our foundation. It not only helps make us who we are today, but it is still an integral part of us! 


To honor this important milestone, Donna, Teresa, and I are asking our classmates to help us start a "Class of '85 Scholarship Fund." Cardinal O'Hara is the second neediest school in the archdiocese, with 65% of children requiring Financial Aid. Most need more, but due to limited funds, the school cannot meet all of these needs.


So, we would like to start a "Class of '85 Scholarship Fund" to help some of these children. One-hundred percent of whatever we can raise through our "Class of '85 Scholarship Fund" will go directly to the students. This year, we hope to raise $10,750 -- which is the cost of one year's tuition at our beloved alma mater. 


We are suggesting that our donations be made in honor of the school's new President and our classmate, Mike Connor. As a member of the Basketball and Baseball teams, the junior school play (Hello, Dolly), and Zoo Crew, Mike used his time, talents, and gifts to make O'Hara a better place. So, as a gesture of our appreciation, we thought it would be nice to acknowledge him when making our donation.


You can give your gift four ways:


A. On the COHS website,


B. Through Venmo using @CardinalOhara,


C. On the Eventbrite Site,


D. Or by sending a check to the school. COHS, 1701 S Sproul Rd., Springfield, PA 19064


Please include "Class of '85 Gift in honor of Mike Connor" if you are making a donation.


Hope to see you on May 21st for a fun night, and thank you for considering a generous gift to our Alma Mater!


Warmly,

Teresa Ricciuti Appleby,

Donna Dougherty Pascali, &

Karen Franks Zetterberg
