The 2009 Wildcat Open is now history! Mark your calendars now for the 2010 open, on September 20.
It was a perfect day at Calumet Country Club for the golfers, and a wonderful evening with our honored teachers, Dan Ustian, Tom Dreesen, and many many friends. Our heartfelt thanks to all who helped to make this event a great success in every sense of the word. Please check back often for updates on how your support will help the students at our beloved Thornton Township High School. Through your generosity, the assets in TALF have just passed $300,000!!
The Thornton Alumni Legacy Fund, whose goal is to cultivate change for the benefit of current and future students at Thornton Township High School, is an independent 501(c)(3) organization. Funds raised are used to grow the endowment, as well as to allocate a portion of each year’s income to current needs and programs. For example, TALF has revived the yearbook, purchased world history maps, restarted a girls’ dance group (the SophistiCats), refurbished the auditorium, provided technology for the science labs, and much more, as you can see in the section title 2009 allocations on the right.
Additionally, TALF created and continues to bring the Distinguished Speakers Series to TTHS several times each year. The Speakers Series invites alumni to return and talk with students about their keys to their success, and provides insight into their chosen profession.
