Kareem Norman Memorial Fund
The Kareem Norman Memorial Fund honors the life and courage of Kareem Norman, who suffered a fatal heart attack in the spring of 2007. While a student at Avon, Kareem sustained a devastating injury that left him paralyzed, doing one of the things he loved most in life: playing hockey. Kareem attacked his condition with the same passion he brought to the ice. In 2003 Kareem joined the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, the foremost research and treatment program in the world for spinal cord injuries. Donations made in Kareem’s memory have established the Kareem Norman Award, given annually to the Most Outstanding Forward on the varsity hockey team. On February 23, 2008, Avon hosted A Night for Kareem. Kareem’s #10 hockey jersey was retired and the first Kareem Norman Award was presented to James Chamness ’08. Through this award, Kareem’s legacy will be celebrated annually during the Avon hockey season, ensuring that his memory will continue to inspire Avonians for years to come. Mr. Christopher J.

The Richard Herron Woodwell Scholarship Fund
The Richard Herron Woodwell Scholarship Fund honors a special friend and alumnus, Richard “Woody” Woodwell ’75, who tragically lost his life in the attacks of September 11th. The fund was established in 2001 and has recently grown substantially, as friends of Woody’s contributed to the scholarship fund in 2007 to honor what would have been Woody’s 50th birthday. The money collected by the school supports a deserving student at Avon who best embodies the leadership characteristics Woody
exhibited so clearly throughout his life. Woody was the Warden at Avon, later graduated from Dartmouth College and was working at the World Trade Center for Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods when he died. His son, Richard Jr. graduated from Avon in 2008. Mr. & Mrs. Tony Aliffi Mr. & Mrs. John Ambrose Mr. & Mrs. Robert S. Applegate Mr. & Mrs. Par Arvidssun Mr. Timothy R. Beeble ’71 Mr. Kenneth H.
