Franchisees contribute another $36,000 for D'Angelo Foundation
During the recent HVA Annual Convention, HomeVestors franchisees contributed more than $36,000 to The Ken D'Angelo Foundation, pushing the Foundation's coffers over $300,000!
"Originally, we had planned to raise $250,000 in 2005," explained John P. Hayes, chairman of the Foundation, "but we surpassed that goal in August when we raised $170,000 at a casino night. "HVA contributed another $100,000, so we were just $30,000 shy of $300,000 when we went to Denver for our convention," said Hayes.
The Foundation was established in 2005 to memorialize HVA Founder Ken D'Angelo, who died last January. The Foundation will provide scholarships for college students who are studying franchising, entrepreneurship or real estate. The Foundation will also make contributions to the Mayo Clinic for bile duct cancer research.
A list of all donors will be released in the near future. Meanwhile, contributions are still being accepted. Visit the Foundation's website (www.kendangelofoundation.com) for more information or contact Vonda Mathews at 972-761-0046.
The scholarship application is now available on the website and the first scholarship will be granted by Fall 2006.
