Welcome to Hoban’s 39th Annual Extravaganza Gala, A Knight on the Town! We are excited to welcome you to campus for what promises to be an evening to remember. Extravaganza celebrates all that is good about Hoban–most notably our greatest asset, our people. Thank you for joining us as we continue to lead in the Holy Cross tradition.
Since 1953, Hoban has prepared students to meet the unique challenges of the world around them. Our mission as a Catholic, Holy Cross school is to educate the hearts and minds of students, so they develop the competence to see and the courage to act. In my estimation, this is the noblest of causes.
Part of our mission as a Catholic school is to keep tuition affordable so that the Hoban experience remains accessible for all. We appreciate our families’ financial sacrifice to provide their children with a Hoban education. Still, tuition revenue alone does not cover the costs associated with educating more than 860 students. Extravaganza gives Hoban the “extra” leverage we need to provide our Knights with vital financial and material resources, meaningful spiritual engagement opportunities, world-class academic programming, robust cocurricular activities and a top-tier facility. To accomplish all of this, your support remains vital.
The Ralph L. & Florence A. Bernard Foundation continues its tradition of providing a matching gift to help raise scholarship monies. This year’s challenge is to match $100,000! At the end of the night, we ask you to raise your paddle to help exceed the $200,000 goal for student scholarships and financial assistance.
In requesting this special consideration, I am very mindful of the generosity, charity and giving spirit offered by so many to make Extravaganza successful. I look forward to sharing the evening with you and continuing to make an impact in the lives of our students.
God Bless and Go Knights!
Since 2004, the Bernard Family and the Ralph L. & Florence A. Bernard Foundation have annually shared their friendship and generosity with an Extravaganza Challenge Scholarship Match. This challenge originated with Mr. Ralph L. Bernard Sr. who passed away in 2009 at the age of 94. His children, Ralph Bernard Jr. ’62 and Mrs. Regina Dain, grandchildren Adam Bernard and Angie Craig, and the Foundation have continued this legacy of supporting Catholic education in the Akron area. The Bernard Family, with the support of generous Extravaganza guests, has raised $2,101,448 for student financial assistance over the past 19 years.
This year, the 20th anniversary of the Bernard Family’s Extravaganza Scholarship Match, the Bernard Family has generously agreed to MATCH DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR ANY AMOUNT UP TO $100,000. We sincerely appreciate their philanthropic commitment to Archbishop Hoban High School and Catholic education. Please consider making a gift today. You will be supporting Hoban students and perpetuating the legacy started years ago by Mr. Bernard.
Philip H. Maynard ’60 was the founder of The Maynard Family Foundation, a private, charitable foundation formed in 1993 dedicated to helping create and sustain a vibrant and healthy community in the Greater Akron area, where residents have equal opportunities to live, work and be enriched.
Phil was a dedicated supporter of Archbishop Hoban High School, having served on the Board of Directors for more than three decades in multiple capacities, including chair. He was a philanthropic leader among the Hoban community and led efforts during the “Hoban 2000” capital campaign, which constructed the iconic golden dome, Alumni Gymnasium and Nolan Concourse, and in the 2013 “This Is Hoban” campaign, which included the construction of the Maynard Family Center for Spiritual Formation, the Holy Cross Chapel and Moreau Ministry Hall, the Didado Family Health and Fitness Center and the expansion of the Hoban Endowment Fund for student scholarships.
Despite his passing in 2021, Phil’s legacy of generosity and stewardship lives on in The Maynard Family Foundation under the guidance of his daughters Amy (Maynard ’89) Griffith and Emily (Maynard ’91) Eckart, their spouses and their children.
“Do your giving while you’re living, so you’re knowing where it’s going.” —Phil Maynard ’60
The Fedorovich‘s are long-time supporters of Hoban. Rick is a member of the Hoban Board of Directors, serving the school in a variety of capacities, including board chair and capital campaign chair. Supporting education is a passion for both Lisa and Rick—they are also benefactors of Lisa’s alma mater, Hathaway Brown School, where she chairs the advancement committee.
The Fedorovich’s philanthropy is diverse, inlcuding the arts and health services. Richard has served on Akron General and Cleveland Clinic’s board of trustees and committees. Lisa is a trustee of the Musical Arts Association (The Cleveland Orchestra), where she is vice-chair of the Education Committee, and performs in The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, where she chairs the chorus’s Operating Committee. She is also a trustee of The Esselstyn Foundation (promoting health through nutrition) and the Ohio Board of Hope for Henry Foundation (to improve the inpatient hospital experience for seriously ill children).

“Building, Investing and Supporting Companies That Share Our Core Values of Faith, Family and Freedom”
We are a Catholic high school in the Holy Cross tradition.
We celebrate our diversity, value each person and welcome one another with the hospitality of Christ.
As a family of learners, anchored in gospel values, we empower each other to grow spiritually, develop intellectually and reach out in service to others.
Within an innovative and orderly learning environment we are committed to challenging each student in both heart and mind to be a compassionate individual, a lifelong learner and a responsible steward of God’s creation.
For the past 39 years there has been a dedicated, creative and tireless group of volunteers at Hoban. The Extravaganza Decorating Committee is a special group of friends who start in the fall, meet at least once a week, work from home and seem to always be carrying craft supplies in their vehicles. Every year a theme is chosen and the decorating committee makes it come to life for our one night of enjoyment. Lifelong friendships have been made over cutting, pasting and constructing.
This year, Cara Beard and Michelle Mann headed up an outstanding group of volunteers. We thank their decorating assistants Wendy Reeves, Antonette Blackmon, Michael Blackmon, Tonya Brewer, Dan Brewer, Erica Cook, Frank DiMauro ’71, Dawn Gainer, Jerry Gonsiewski ’71, Crystal Lindsey, Erica May, Beverly Olson, Laurel Plummer, Michelle Sakowicz, Rick Turner, Robin Turner, Shelly Zackasee and the many volunteers who worked the week of the event. We cannot say “THANKS” enough, and hope all of you had fun along the way.

In recognition of the Excellence with which Hoban meets their goal of empowering their students, educators, and community to grow spiritually, develop intellectually and reach out in service to others.
Hoban is a constant source of support to those who have walked their halls and learned how to care for themselves, others in their life, and the world in which they live.
Thank you for all that have taught and modeled the Holy Cross Values.
