In Honor of Sami Kalifa
The Annandale Chamber of Commerce Foundation, with the blessing and support of the Kalifa
Family, has formed an Endowment Fund to bestow annual grants to deserving local students. The one presented to an Annandale High School graduate will be known as the Sami Kalifa Education Grant and conferred each year at our Awards Ceremony.
Sami was a strong proponent of higher education and known to aid the youth of Annandale at every opportunity. He gave tirelessly to the community, the Chamber, his family, friends, and customers. One example was funding a prize for the student who developed the best design for the creation of an Annandale flag - an effort he personally spearheaded to its successful conclusion. This annual Education Grant will become a living memorial to Sami and one that would have pleased him enormously. It will be an appropriate thank you to a soul who touched us all.
The Kalifa Family has made the first contribution, quickly followed by Chamber members. We ask that you donate whatever amount possible in memory of Sami Kalifa. Tax deductible contributions should be made payable to the "Annandale Chamber of Commerce Foundation"
and mailed to:
