Why are we doing this?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For 70 years, Tony Yount shaped lives through his career as a history teacher, yearbook advisor, and basketball coach in the Chapel Hill public schools; through his work at Lutheridge, a North Carolina Lutheran church camp; through his many years as an Academic Counselor for women\u2019s athletic teams at his alma mater, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and through many shared trips with friends to explore the beauty & wonders of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In notes for his memorial service, Tony wrote: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Please mention the 4 loves of my life:
Lutheridge
UNC-Chapel Hill
The American West and our National Parks
The communities of people I helped form at Carolina, Lutheridge, Phillips Jr. High, and Chapel Hill High School.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As an act of love by the many friends of Tony Yount, we want to continue his legacy of helping others explore their dreams to find deeper meaning and joy in life!!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate Tony\u2019s life, we wish to honor him with a living tribute: ten more years of positively impacting lives, in Tony\u2019s name, to carry on his legacy for generations.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our vision: Impacting lives for 10 more years<\/h2>
<\/div>

Our goal: $70,000 in gifts & commitments.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have almost reached our goal and expect to fund Tony’s four loves for the planned ten years.<\/div>
78%<\/span><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

$70,000 = $1,000 for each of Tony’s 70 years<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be able to make life-impacting distributions for 10 years, the 10 For Tony goal is to receive at least $70,000 in donations and recurring commitments into the Tony Yount Legacy Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This may sound challenging, but Tony always inspired us to do challenging things and we are confident that the great love for Tony from among his four \u201ccommunities\u201d will make this a reality. Donations from Tony\u2019s estate and the Fund Committee have already generated almost $33,000 toward this goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 For Tony<\/em><\/strong> will be carried out by the Tony Yount Legacy Fund<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This fund is a donor-advised charitable memorial fund with Thrivent Charitable. Thrivent is a well-respected, Fortune 500, A++ rated financial services company, with a commitment to community service, ethical investment practices, and historic roots with the Lutheran church (to which Tony belonged throughout his life). The Fund will be owned & invested with Thrivent Charitable, so that all contributions will be fully tax-deductible.<\/p>\n<\/div>
