Thank You Donors!

MMI has received a number of annual fund gifts this fall and winter specifically restricted to purchase faculty wish list items for the school. We are very appreciative!

Robert Moisey and Janice Gans Moisey donated funds to the varsity soccer, varsity volleyball, and mid-school soccer program which helped to fund equipment and attire purchases as well as end-ofseason social gatherings for the athletes.

President Emeritus Bill Shergalis ’58 and his wife, Miki, made two donations to the athletic program which allowed for the purchase of score signs for all four tennis courts to track games and sets, a vertical jump trainer for the volleyball and basketball teams, and basketball attire. The Shergalis’ also funded the replacement of the bench in Sarah’s Garden in the Courtyard in memory of Sarah Jane Yuscavage ’04.

Flashback Cinema and The Orlando Family Foundation continue to sponsor MMI’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Club with donations that help offset costs for dues and travel to the regional and state-level competitions.

Doris Gicking made a gift in memory of her late husband, David Gicking ’56, that was restricted to Physics for a wish list purchase.

A gift from The Warner Endowed Fund for Baseball and Softball supported the expansion of equipment in the MMI weight room. The Weightlifting Club and MMI’s athletes will benefit from the addition of an Olympic hex trap bar, three TRX systems, farmers handles for loaded carries, a push sled, strongman sandbags, a wall-mounted squat rack, and multiple Olympic bumper plates in the Auxiliary Gym.

The MMI Photography Club was able to purchase new equipment thanks to two donations. The first gift was made by Atty. Lee Auerbach ‘73 and Leah Leddy, while the second gift came from Steven Silberg ‘92 and Jessica Silberg.

John Hersker ’76 provided funding to the Drama Club for scripts, royalties, and costumes for the upcoming Prepper Playhouse performance of “The Little Mermaid.” Save-the-date and see the production on April 28 and April 29 at 7:00 pm!

Thank You Mid Penn Bank!

Mid Penn Bank supported MMI’s Scholarship Program with a donation through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program. MMI students have received nearly $3.8 million in scholarship support since 2005 thanks to the contributions of many area companies through the EITC and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs. Mid Penn has donated $20,000 in scholarships to MMI since 2020. Conyngham Branch Manager Christine Marcolla presented a check to Director of Advancement Kim McNulty in November.
