Donation Made in Memory of Five Classmates

In honor of our five classmates who have passed away, Micaela Bengoechea, Michael Birkinshaw, Aubri Chance, Rachel Shumway, and Phillip Tinney, the THS Class of 2004 donated $140 to the National Alliance for Mental Illness. The donation comes from the remainder of funds for our reunion. NAMI was chosen because so many in our world suffer from undiagnosed or untreated mental illness, affecting themselves and those around them. While not all the deaths of our classmates may have been related to mental illness, we wanted to remember and celebrate these five individuals. Thank you for your lives and your presence in ours.
