Honor Sis: Donate to Shinnecock Graduates

Hello Relatives,

This year, we anticipate that 17 Shinnecock community students will graduate from Southampton High School--one of our largest graduating classes to date! To support the educational pursuits of each student who qualifies, we, the family of the late Paulette H. Brown, humbly request a donation to the Paulette H. Brown Memorial Scholarship fund.

Established in 1986, this memorial scholarship commemorates the enduring service, leadership, and citizenship attributes of Paulette H. Brown,—known to many as “Sis”—a proud and beloved member of the Shinnecock Nation and Southampton community. Over the 39 years, we have awarded over $165,000 to more than seven dozen graduates of Southampton High School who continue to be thriving examples of Sis’s legacy.

For those of you with the heart to give in honor of Sis’s memory, we thank you in advance for anything you contribute. We also appreciate the many previous Paulette H. Brown Memorial Scholarship recipients who annually donate to pay their success forward to the next generation.

If you prefer to donate via check, donations may be mailed “Attention Odalys Franco” to Southampton School District, 70 Leland Lane, Southampton, NY 11968. Please write "Paulette H. Brown Scholarship" in the memo line.

Sincerely,

Carolyn L. M. Brown Gumbs & Family
