Supporting the Reunion
The Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center (MEC)/Arts & Academic High School 30+ Year Reunion Committee is THRILLED to let you in on something exciting we’re planning. We’re hosting the very first combined alumni reunion, highlighting the first five graduating classes (1991-1995), on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center!
The Fort Store Needs
Your Help!
A portion of the funds will be used to stock the "Fort Store." This on-campus resource is and has been a lifeline by providing students in need with essential supplies like clothing, personal hygiene items, and school supplies, ensuring they have everything necessary to succeed.
We have set a goal to raise $10,000 to fund the student gift cards, and stock the Fort Store for the upcoming semester. We invite you to join us in supporting the next generation of Fort Hayes talent. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference.
Donate or Become a Sponsor
A donation of just $25 will go a long way in purchasing those thank-you gift cards and stocking up the Fort Store.
Or consider a larger donation for recognition: $500 "Future Leaders Sponsor": Along with two tickets to the event, your company’s name and logo will be prominently featured on all signage and acknowledged during and after the reunion via social media, and on communications distributed to hundreds of alumni (did I mention the classes of 1996-2015 are also invited). Your generosity will be featured at the event as a supporter of the Fort Store.
Thank you for considering this request. Your contribution is more than just a donation; it’s a testament to your commitment to the Columbus community and the legacy of Fort Hayes MEC High School. We are elated to host an unforgettable event with your support.
Please Note: As the 30+ Year Reunion Committee is an alumni group and not a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we recommend you consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your contribution. We view your generous support as operational funding for the event, student recognition and essential school resources.
