A bequest from the estate of Roy E. Davis was received in 1979 for scholarships to graduates of East Aurora High School.

In 2001, the Foundation established the fund as an endowment to ensure ongoing recognition of his generosity.

Roy Davis (1889-1979) was the athletic director and coach of East Aurora High School for forty-three years.

He joined East Aurora in 1913 as a science teacher and later co-authored a high school biology textbook with his brother Ira.

Mr. Davis served on the boards of the Edna Smith Home and the American Red Cross.

He also was a member of the Community Foundation’s Scholarship Committee for over fifteen years. The athletic field at East Aurora High School was named in his honor.

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

[Renewing Scholarship Recipient] Graduate of Hinkley-Big Rock High School

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.
