March Newsletter
Hello TAF Family!

March 2021 looked a lot different than a year ago and we are so thankful for that! A year ago we were facing uncertainty, trying to figure out the virtual world of meetings & school, and there was a lot of fear and anxiety. However, this year we are stronger, we are capable, and we are hopeful!

This past month The Aubrey Foundation has been hard at work planning for an unforgettable year 7 with both Cigar Night and the Purple for Pappas 5K planning committees meeting! Marketing is also working hard to deliver a new TAF Store and brainstorming fun ideas for Cigar Night! And we can't forget that it's officially Scholarship Season for the Seniors at North Brunswick Township High School and we so look forward to receiving their essays next month!

However, the biggest thing that we are working through right now is our Scholarship Campaign through our Network for Good site! In 2020 we raised enough money to again give away $7,500 in student scholarship through our Aubrey Pappas Memorial Scholarship. But with everything these students have been through the past year we want to increase that! So throughout March and April we are asking for YOUR HELP to raise an additional $1,500 to create an additional scholarship for this year! That would be a total of $9,000 going directly to graduating 2021 NBTHS Seniors! 100% of every donation goes directly to the students and each donation matters!
To participate please visit our Network For Good Scholarship Campaign page!

And don't forget to check out the Meet our Members for March (scroll for link) to learn about two General Board members! And remember it's never too late to join a committee! Interested in learning more email us: info@theaubreyfoundation.org !

We miss you TAF Family!
Stay Safe and Stay Connected!

Fundraising And Recruiting
How FAR can we go?
Our FAR initiative (fundraising & recruiting) was established in an effort to expand our Aubrey Foundation family. Expansion can come in many different forms with the intention, always, to spread our mission, touch more people through our service, and grow our partners. Partners could be new participants at our events, new sponsors, new vendors, new board members and/or new volunteers: all of which are critical to our growth & sustainability. This month we want to spotlight & celebrate 2 of our board members who help us touch many people through all of their work with TAF and by #LivingLikeAubrey, always.
