WEDJ School


Founder’s Wall



The William E. Doar Jr. Educational Foundation – WEDJ PCS for the Performing Arts, Inc.

Applying for a charter to open a school is a daunting task.  It requires vast resources, skills and talents that could never be concentrated in one person or a select few.  It can only be done and done well with the help and support of a caring community.  Over the last two years we would have been unable to do what we have done without the support of our friends and family and associates.  Some of our earliest supporters we count on as our strongest supporters because they took a leap of faith to help us on our way.  Every supporter is valuable and important.  But those who stepped forward before we were a school, before we had our charter will forever be remembered as part of our founding group.  Below is a list of donors, both financial and in-kind who provided us with the necessary support to write an application, apply for a charter and start down the road to opening the school.  Upon the opening of our facility, those persons listed will have a permanent place in our school.  At the close of our second fiscal year, June 30, 2004, we gratefully acknowledge and honor the following:
