Thank you from The Madeira Schools Foundation President
Hello Madeira:
I hope everyone is safe and healthy as we continue through the challenges of COVID 19. As you may know, the Madeira Schools Foundation held its annual auction on March 7 narrowly avoiding the national lockdown that was just around the corner. There is no doubt that we ‘threaded the needle’ and our 2020 auction is now on the books as one of our best ever!
The success of our auction would have not been possible without the support of our sponsors throughout the community. Please visit our full list of our sponsors on the MSF website so you can help support these businesses throughout the year. A special thanks to the McNally and Benintendi families for donating exciting experiences that help us stay connected to Andrew and Caty, the winners were absolutely elated to say the least! In addition, thank you to all the Madeira residents who attended the auction and were able to bid on some great items to help raise funds that will benefit our schools for years to come. Also, a special thanks to the teachers and staff from all three schools who volunteered at the auction and helped make the event fun, organized, and successful.
And finally, thank you to Mindi Hilgeman and all the Madeira Schools Foundation Trustees for their hard work ALL year to make our auction a big success. Your hard work translates directly to the ongoing strength of our schools and our community.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Stay safe,
Tim Farrell
President, Madeira Schools Foundation

A Special Thank You to our Trustees
Each year, approximately 30 volunteer trustees commit their time, talents and treasure to raising funds for the Madeira City Schools. Their work is a labor of love to benefit the students, staff, administrators and families in the district. These volunteers review student scholarship applications, plan and execute the annual auction, golf outing, Bourbon Tasting and many other events, bringing together the parents, friends and community of Madeira City Schools. We thank those that are leaving the board, having dedicated 3+ years to helping to make our district the VERY best.
Join me in thanking Laura Rusche, Dave Eberly, Sue Cummings, Betsy LeRoy, Chris Ramos, Carly Chu and Chris Nachtrab for their years served.
Interested in joining this board of amazing volunteers? Email Mindi at mhilgeman.msf@gmail.com .
