Philanthropy at LJCDS

Alumni are the truest testament to what it means to be a Torrey. They continue to enhance the school community after graduation day. Some volunteer their time, giving back by connecting with current students and families, or through alumni programs. Others donate their resources so that today’s Torreys enjoy the benefits of an LJCDS education. Some enroll their children at LJCDS —the ultimate expression of trust and value they place in our school. And some do all three.

THE BAHRAMBEYGUI-HOSEY FAMILY

Sherry Bahrambeygui ’82 is a true-blue Torrey who recently celebrated her 40th reunion at LJCDS. Over the years, Bahrambeygui has remained dedicated to the school in many ways—previously serving on the Alumni Leadership Council, the board of trustees, and as the proud parent of twin sons, Liam Hosey and Ryan Hosey, both from the class of 2017.

Bahrambeygui and her family have given consistently at the leadership level, while also volunteering their time to advance the school and alumni program. They served as the Senior Class Gift match family for the class of 2017, generously matching every contribution made by members of the class. Liam and Ryan continue to serve as leaders in their graduating class, stepping forward to volunteer their time and resources in myriad ways.

“Ensuring the diverse community and spirit of the school means a lot to us. So many of our most cherished friends today relate back to the Country Day communities we grew up in,” Bahrambeygui shares. “The bonds that we built with the extraordinary students and families at Country Day have proven to be lifetime gifts for all of us.”

What does philanthropy mean to Bahrambeygui and her family? “It’s one of the best ways to open your minds, hearts and arms to the larger world”—and there’s no better definition of a Torrey than that.
