Commemorative Giving Opportunities

The ACE community remembers those in our community in a special way in the form of commemorative funds or programs, that in their memory we may continue to support children and families through Catholic education.

Chris Lary Memorial Scholarship Fund

To remember and celebrate the life of Chris Lary, his classmates, with the assistance of Fr. Scully and the ACE staff, initiated the Chris Lary Memorial Fund. Chris graduated from Notre Dame in ‘96 and was set to become a member of the ACE 3 cohort. The scholarship named in Chris’s honor benefits teachers and schools through smaller grants that target the creativity and passion with which Chris lived his life. To continue the good work that Chris began, please indicate that you would like your gift to go toward the Chris Lary Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Tim Williamson Memorial Scholarship Fund

Through the generosity of his family and friends, ACE has established the Tim Williamson Memorial Scholarship Fund, which supports scholarships for African-American students at a Catholic school designated by Tim’s family. This scholarship program honors the life of Tim Williamson, who graduated from Notre Dame in ’96 and taught in ACE in Lake Charles, Louisiana, for two years. To support this project and remember the life of this wonderful ACE graduate, please designate your gift to ACE toward the Tim Williamson Memorial Scholarship Fund.
