Established in 1983, the Edison Community & Sports Foundation consists of Edison High School alumni, and community who originally organized to honor coaches and past athletes while building scholarship funds for Edison High School students. Today’s Foundation has expanded to support Edison High School in a broader spectrum while keeping the past connected to the future. Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month (subject to change) at 7 PM in the Edison Alumni room. To learn more, please visit the About Us page.

Niles Schulz Scholarship Dinner a Huge Success!
On Monday, June 8, 2026, Alumni, Teachers, Community leaders and supporters of Edison and the Northeast community gathered for our 42nd annual Niles Schulz Scholarship Fundraising Dinner. It was our second year having it at The Hollywood Theater. Affordable Best Catering did an excellent job with the catering. The Edison Jazz band provided some wonderful entertainment before the program. Caricatures were done by Johnny Lourey Borgen, Class of 1975. Many of the scholarship recipients and guests enjoyed having a caricature done.
The venue is more casual and a mingling atmosphere and provided a great space for the event and silent auction. The silent auction and raffles helped raise more than $8,000! This year we awarded $49,000 in scholarships to 20 Students. A very special thank you to all the businesses that once again donated prizes to support our silent auction and to all the wonderful guests that come year after year to support this very important endeavor to help the Edison graduates with their future education. The Larson Family and the Class of 1965 were all in attendance and have been giving scholarships for many years. We had a few new memorial scholarships this year, one for Andrew Ostazeski and the second year for Beth Fairley. The dedication they show as alumni giving back is outstanding. The students are so grateful for the scholarships they receive, and we always welcome more scholarships or donations. Just a few short years ago we only gave out 10 scholarships and now that has grown to 20 scholarships! What a great community we have!
Many of the scholarship recipients and their parents were in attendance. Scholarship recipients took the stage to introduce themselves and announce where they will be attending school in the fall. We always look forward to having them meet so many of the supporters that contribute to their scholarships. Students are always so grateful for the scholarships they receive, and we got some wonderful pictures of the students with the donors and they had a chance to get to know one another at our event.
Distinguished Alumni awards were presented to Mona Harristhal and Dave Iacarella. More information will be shared in the Fall newsletter about the recipients.
We look forward to next year as we plan our event and will keep you informed of the date in the upcoming newsletter. I hope more alumni can participate in this event next year! Please join us, once you find out how much fun it is you will be coming back for years to come.
