Ten new scholarships have been endowed thanks to a matching
gift fund established by Elon parents John and Nancy
Cavanaugh of New Canaan, Conn.
Last year, the couple created The Cavanaugh Family Funds to
encourage additional donors to establish scholarships at
Elon. Through matching gifts, The Cavanaugh Family Funds
enabled donors and the university to fully fund 10 additional
scholarships for athletics, academics, performing arts and
programs such as study abroad.
The donors who endowed the new scholarships are David
Krueger-Andes of Elon; Tom and Jackie Madden of Morristown,
N.J.; Charles and Marcia Catalano of Lynchburg, Va.; Brian
Martindale ’95 of Burlington, N.C.; Brian Branson
’87 of Cary, N.C.; Dick and Bonnie Downen of Charlotte,
N.C.; the friends of Ann Lashley; Elon staff member Jerry
Tolley; Mike and Donna McGlinn of Wyomissing, Pa.; and David
and Amy Yearwood of Boston.
The Cavanaughs are members of the university’s Parents
Council and the parents of Jennifer, an Elon senior, and
Brooke, who is a junior.
