St. Mary's College Alumnus and Friend 

Orlando Rosa (Class of 1976) Being Honoured

For 45 years, the John Rhodes Scholarship Dinner has been raising money to help an Algoma University Students (or, more recently, 2 Algoma University students) who have demonstrated excellence in academic achievement as well as achievement in academic, political or social activities.

Every year, a prominent community member is honored at the dinner. This year, St. Mary's College Alumnus (Class of 1976) and Friend, Orlando Rosa is the honoree and both Matthew Shoemaker (CCed) and I are on the fundraising committee. The scholarship is close to being maxed out, and with your help, we can help close out the scholarship to provide student benefits in perpetuity.  The hope is that this year’s dinner will raise sufficient funds to be able to cap off the scholarship on the 45th anniversary of its establishment.

With this said, I’ve attached a sponsor information sheet and am hopeful that you can give consideration to the Sponsorship Opportunities listed on the bottom of the 3rd page. As a long-time friend of Orlando’s, he would be grateful if the SMC Alumni Association  would contribute alongside both himself personally and Wishart Law Firm, to this most-worthy cause.
