December Drive to Success - All Donations Matched 50 Cents on the Dollar!

**Special Offer this week: Donate $20 or more between now and Friday and get a $10 Starbucks card! Join/donate today.**
We have a goal of raising $300 during December; all donations will be matched 50 cents on the dollar. During this "Season of Giving" we invite you to open up your hearts and join us as we kick off our December Drive to Success Program. For the past six years, the Crooms AoIT Alumni Association has provided one graduating senior with a scholarship – and, last year it was increased to $600. The December Drive to Success is our plan to raise at least $300 worth of contributions towards the scholarship. While each of us may only be able to give $5 or $10, as a whole we can raise more than enough money to give back to Crooms AoIT and make a difference in someone's life.

Founders Spotlight: Matthew Carli, Class of '05

Matthew Carli photoMatthew Carli has deep roots in Sanford – real deep. He was born in Sanford Hospital and raised in Sanford. His family has been in Sanford for over 50 years. Carli's father went to Seminole High School, his aunt taught at Seminole, and his siblings and cousins attended the school which opened 110 years ago as Sanford High School. For Carli – who attended Sanford's Pine Crest Elementary and was a pre-IB scholar at Sanford Middle School – the most likely path would have been to continue the family tradition at Seminole High School. Instead, Carli broke with tradition to be part of the first class to attend Crooms AoIT.

Frank C. Bracco

Frank C. Bracco: Why did I become a member of The Founders Society?

There is a significant role alumni can play in supporting Crooms AoIT and helping current students succeed. Crooms AoIT is a strong educational institution that does a wonderful job at educating and engaging students across the socioeconomic spectrum. My time at Crooms allowed me to succeed in academics and extracurriculars, whereas I probably would have "fallen through the cracks" at a larger school. At the end of the day, if we impact the high school experience of even only one student then we have done a good job. - Read more about Frank
