Mark A. Gildea Memorial Scholarship Fund

Wow!!! We are SO amazed by all the love, generosity and support that we have received from everyone. The amount of donations that have been made to the Scholarship Fund is absolutely amazing. With that being said, we are asking that any donations being made moving forward be made via Venmo, as we cannot let this page get to over 20,000 for tax purposes. The WHS Booster club has opened a separate bank account strictly for the Mark A. Gildea Memorial Scholarship Fund and connected it to Venmo. To donate, simply scan the QR Code below or go to the Venmo app, or Venmo.com and type in @WHSBoosterClub and a picture of our Dad and "Scholarship Fund" will pop up. This is where you can continue to donate and where the money that has been donated so far will be sent. If you would rather send a check in the mail, write in memo section "Mark Gildea Scholarship Fund" and make it out to the WHS Booster Club. You can mail it to WHS Booster Club, 355 High Street, Willimantic, CT 06226. If you have any questions regarding donations, feel free to reach out to Coach Ken Valliere, WHS Booster Club @ [phone redacted]. We really cannot thank everyone enough for all of the kind words, support and generous donations during this unimaginable time. This is going to allow our Dad to continue to touch the lives of WHS students in need for years to come. For that, we cannot thank you enough. ❤



In loving memory of Mark A. Gildea, please support his passion for coaching, teaching and mentoring by raising money to help start a scholarship fund for Windham High School. This scholarship will be given to a student in need in Mark's memory on an annual basis through the Windham Booster Club. Once collected, we will deliver a check to the Windham Booster Club to help them create an annual scholarship fund account for the amount profited from this online fundraiser.

He would have wanted nothing more than to help students in need. May his legacy forever live on. ❤
