Pembroke Academy Alum Makes Generous Donation In Support Of
Bicentennial
Money
Will Be Used Toward The Creation Of An Athletic Hall Of Fame
Thanks to a generous gift
from a Pembroke Academy (PA) alum, the Pembroke Academy Bicentennial
Committee is off to a great start in creating a Pembroke Academy
Athletic Hall of Fame, one of several culminating projects to
celebrate the school’s 200th anniversary.
Peter Cofran, PA class of
1969, made a donation of $2,000 towards the effort after attending
the school’s Bicentennial Kickoff Celebration in April where he
became aware of the goal to create an Athletic Hall of Fame.
Acknowledging that athletics is of significant importance to him,
Cofran wished to gift the donation to his alma mater in appreciation
of the educational experience he was afforded while enrolled at the
school.
“To receive such support
from an alum was truly heartwarming, and certainly very much
appreciated,” said PA Headmaster Paul Famulari.
With many other Pembroke
Academy Bicentennial activities planned, the school would welcome
additional volunteers. Anyone interested in becoming involved
should contact Headmaster Paul Famulari directly at 603-485-7881 or
by email at [email protected].
