Assumption Foundation Grows Membership
In recent months, the Assumption Foundation has added several new members, welcoming accomplished Assumption alumni, current/past parents, and members of local parishes.
The collaboration between the experience of seasoned members, and the fresh perspective of new members promises to be invaluable. In the upcoming year , The Foundation will be working on forming committees and participating in the strategic plan for Scott County K12 Catholic Schools.
The Assumption Foundation was founded in 1973 to provide endowed support to Assumption High School. In the year just ended, the foundation contributed $80,419 in support of the AHS General Fund budget.
In 2004, the Foundation trust document was amended to include support of Scott County Catholic grade Schools. (This support is provided through distinctly identified and segregated funds.) In the last 12 years, the Foundation has been essential in subsidizing K-12 tuition assistance, employee benefits, and marketing funds for our collective schools since that time. In 2016, the Foundation began coordination of the Father Ken Martin Golf Outing, which benefits the Scott County K-12 emergency tuition assistance program.

Record Numbers for Fr. Martin Golf Outing
The 2017 Fr. Ken Martin Memorial Golf Outing, benefitting emergency tuition assistance in Scott County, was once again a big hit for those in need. Over 120 golfers participated in this year’s event, providing the support that matters so much to making this event a success. Thank you to all those who provided sponsorships, raffle items, golf foursomes, donations, and even simply an encouraging word when it was needed.
Thank you as well to all of our volunteers, including Jim ’66 and Diane Tiedje, Liz Powers ’00, Carey Jones, Linda Duffy, Penny Trier, Gina Tillman ’92, Nick Haut ’03, and Dick Koestner ’73 for all of their hard work.
The 2017 Fr. Ken Martin Memorial Golf Outing received close to $17,000 in sponsorships, registrations, and donations. Another $2,475 was added through “Birdies” donations, along with an additional $2,960 in registration fees and cash donations. All funds raised will be used to provide K-12 emergency, one-time, tuition support to families going through difficult financial times.
