GILBERT H. CARVER ’79 MEMORIAL FUND
The Gilbert Harry Carver ’79 Memorial Fund was established in 2008 by Calvin Carver and other family members to honor the memory of Gibb Carver ’79. The Fund enhances current programs that provide assistance, support, and counseling for all Pingry students, but particularly for those students who may find themselves in need of enhanced assistance as a result of emotional, psychological, physical, personal, or family circumstances. In addition, the Fund engages at least one speaker each academic year to address the student body on topics of self-esteem, tolerance, avoidance of illegal drug and alcohol use, and similar issues of particular value to young people. The inaugural speaker was Ms. Judy Shepard, mother of the late Matthew Shepard who was the victim of a violent hate crime in 1998.
