The Gregg F. Clyne Memorial Foundation, Inc.

 
As you know, Gregg Clyne was a special young man - a funny, smart, animated, energetic and kind human being. And for those who knew Gregg well, you also knew that he was a competitive and driven individual who took pride in his work, his home and his family. Many of us have had the opportunity to laugh and cry with Gregg, whether we have known him for six months or all our lives. But one thing was always constant - his perseverance to strive for the best and to surpass all obstacles presented to him.
Gregg knew that he wouldn’t be afforded the opportunity to fulfill his dreams as he struggled to fend off the insidious disease that was taking control of his body. However, he neither gave up believing in miracles nor living life to the fullest. As a recent graduate of the University of Delaware, he soon chose to pursue a Master's at Stevens Institute of Technology, all the while fighting his disease and continuing to work full time. He expressed to his family and friends his desire to help others realize their academic dreams and goals by forming a foundation in his name in order to provide assistance to students who have a passion for knowledge and commitment to learning but might not be afforded the chance without financial assistance. The Gregg F. Clyne Memorial Foundation has taken the first step in its journey to fulfill Gregg's wish and is committed to helping deserving students on their educational path at the institution of their choice.
As a newly formed organization, we have begun fund-raising efforts by soliciting donations to this wonderful cause as we attempt to pass on Gregg’s spirit for life, learning and success. If you are interested in making a donation, please send a check made payable to The Gregg F. Clyne Memorial Foundation, Inc. Enclosed is a self addressed stamped envelope for your convenience. (Donations are 100% tax deductible.)
A website is being constructed for you to visit to find out about upcoming events, scholarship awards and other vital information about the foundation. Until then, please feel free to contact any of the board members directly.
We ask that you please help us carry out Gregg’s vision. It is through this vision that the heart and core of Gregg lives on in all of us. Thank you.

With Regards,
