Bobbi Rossi embodied character, heart, faith

and purpose — all demonstrated with vitality

and integrity. A graduate of Cardinal Newman

High School, Bobbi was in her third year of

nursing school at the University of South

Carolina when she was tragically killed in 1984.

Almost 30 years later, Bobbi’s legacy lives on

through the Bobbi Rossi Memorial Scholarship

and the countless lives that have been improved

because of it. Bobbi’s family started the

scholarship to immortalize Bobbi’s optimism,

enthusiasm and commitment to humanity, thus

perpetuating her spirit in the community.

The scholarship was founded by the Rossi

family in 1985 as a private foundation. Bobbi’s

father, Ray Rossi, enjoyed administering the

fund for 15 years. After his death, the family

wanted to continue the scholarship program

without dealing with the record keeping,

investment decisions, etc.

In 2001, the Rossi family moved the scholarship

to the Community Foundation, freeing family

members from the administrative burden of

the scholarship program. This allowed them to

focus instead on awarding scholarships each

year and fulfilling Bobbi’s desire to help others.

“This scholarship is one of the most important

parts of Bobbi’s legacy,” said her mother, Ann

Marie Rossi. She recalled a recent USC College

of Nursing luncheon where the family was

honored. Bobbi’s brother, Dr. Michael Rossi,

accepted the Legacy of Caring Award on

behalf of the Rossi family. In his address he

said, “The very next day after Bobbi’s death,

my father decided to start the Bobbi Rossi

Memorial Nursing Scholarship. I don’t know

how he had the foresight at such a difficult time

to do so, but that was my dad.”

Scholarships are awarded from the fund

annually. One goes to a rising senior at

Cardinal Newman High School, where Bobbi

graduated in 1982, and one to an upper

division nursing student at the University of

South Carolina. Since its founding, more than

50 students have been awarded scholarships in

excess of $170,000.

These students are selected not only for

exemplifying the spirit and dedication

illustrated in Bobbi’s life, but because they too

possess the power to reach and touch others.

And for many, this scholarship is critical in

their ability to continue their education. Take

this year’s recipient, Amanda Clark.

Amanda is not your typical college student.

After working for 10 years as a veterinary

nurse, she decided to change course and

go back to school to receive her bachelor’s

degree in (human) nursing. Because she has a

previous bachelor’s degree, she doesn’t qualify

for state-sponsored programs and many other

scholarships.

Amanda works full-time and attends classes at

USC. As her clinicals begin this fall, she was

faced with reducing her work hours and was

concerned about paying for school.

“I am blessed to have the support of the Bobbi

Rossi scholarship this year,” said Amanda.

“This scholarship has allowed me to meet my

tuition and continue on my path to becoming a

nurse. For that, I will be forever grateful.”

After graduation, Amanda’s goal is to continue

her education and apply for graduate school to

study for her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).

Her drive and dedication are what made her

stand out among other applicants. The financial

assistance Amanda is receiving from this

scholarship serves as an example of how Bobbi

does in fact continue to help others long after

she left this earth.

On June 9th, the Community Foundation lost

a dear friend and champion, Aubrey Eugene

“Gene” Rountree. Gene joined the board of

Central Carolina Community Foundation in

2008. Deeply committed to helping those less

fortunate, Gene was an active member of the

Program and Grants Committee. He believed

strongly in the Foundation’s focus on literacy

improvement and gave generously of his

time, talent and treasure. Gene was a genuine

philanthropist and he will be missed.

July marked the beginning of our new

fiscal year, a time to look forward to new

beginnings. In this newsletter we gratefully

recognize the donors who support our work

and shine a spotlight on our scholarship

funds; funds that help students pursue a

better future. A legacy to a young woman

who was tragically killed, the Bobbi Rossi

Scholarship has helped many students attend

college. In this edition you will read about the

newest recipient and her story. You will also

learn about the Foundation’s newest board

members and officers — folks whose gifts of

time and resources allow our organization to

achieve its mission.

The Community Foundation’s mission

is to promote, facilitate and expand

philanthropy. We do this through the support

we provide to our fundholders and our

work in the community. Our 4th annual

Best of Philanthropy Awards: Honoring Our

Community Champions will help us illustrate

the importance of giving by celebrating

the significant contributions of ordinary

people within our community who are

making a difference. The event will be held

on November 14, 2013. Please mark your

calendars and plan to join us for an inspiring

evening. I look forward to seeing you!

Letter from the President

Why a Charitable Remainder Trust Might Be Right for YouContributed by Kenneth B. Wingate

plan impact

Do you want to have your cake and eat it,

too? A charitable remainder trust (CRT) is a

planned charitable gift that may diversify your

investments, increase your cash flow, reduce

your taxes and leave a substantial gift to your

favorite charities.

How does it work? CRT’s are irrevocable

trusts which provide you, and potentially your

spouse, with an income stream for life or a

period of up to 20 years. Upon termination

of the trust, the remaining trust assets are

distributed to the charity (or charities) of your

choice. Several of my clients have selected the

Community Foundation to manage the trust

assets and make annual gifts to designated

charities in perpetuity.

A CRT may be the ideal tool for those who are

charitably inclined but concerned about having

sufficient income for the future. A charitable

remainder trust may be right for you if you:

• Own appreciated land, or investment or

business assets.

• Intend to sell your assets to unlock

additional retirement income.

• Need an estate planning strategy that

preserves your estate for your family

or heirs.

• Have strong charitable intent.

While CRT’s offer a great deal of flexibility and

retirement planning advantages, they require

careful planning to insure proper structure

and funding. If you are interested in learning

more about CRT’s or setting up a fund at

the Community Foundation, contact your

professional advisor. Please remember that

each individual situation is unique, and results

discussed are not a guarantee of future results.

While this article may discuss legal issues, it is

not legal advice.

ken is the managing shareholder of sweeny,

wingate & barrow, p.a. he is a former certified public accountant and is a certified specialist in estate planning and

probate law.

Here’s an Example

Bill and Mary Smith, ages 68 and 65, are in

the 39.6 and 20 percent federal income tax

brackets for ordinary income and long-term

capital gains, respectively. They own stock

valued at $300,000, which they acquired

some years ago for $100,000. If they sell

the stock, they will immediately have to pay

federal capital gains tax of $40,000.

By transferring the stock to a CRT with

a five percent payout, they will receive

a variable income for life with about

$15,000 paid to them in the first year.

The immediate charitable

income tax deduction of about

$107,000 based on their life

expectancies will save them

around $42,000 in federal

income tax, and there will be

no capital gains tax when the

stock is transferred to the trust

or when it is sold.

When the trust comes to an end

upon Mary’s death, Central Carolina

Community Foundation will use the

remaining assets to create a designated

fund. The fund may exist in perpetuity

and will be used each year to provide

financial support to the charities that

Bill and Mary supported annually during

their lifetimes, therefore, insuring that

their causes will continue to receive their

generosity long after they are gone.

impact

In June 2012, the Foundation funded three early

childhood education programs through our

Community Impact grants. These programs are

working to strengthen literacy skills among young

children, combat summer learning loss and ensure

students are reading at grade level by third grade.

While each program was unique, they all had

similar goals and were successful in meeting the

needs of their target population.

Lexington School District Four Lexington School District Four serves a rural

area of Lexington County. With the Foundation’s

support, the district conducted a study to measure

the effectiveness of four distinct levels within their

summer reading program. All 950 students in grades

one through four received eight books along with

varying levels of engagement including instructional

postcards, fluency lessons and comprehension

strategy sessions.

The goal was to create a summer reading program

that makes books accessible to all participants

and implements the supporting framework that is

shown to best help students read on grade level by

third grade. The district was able to leverage their

support from the Community Foundation allowing

for additional partnerships with ETV (with the

assistance of funding from the Knight Foundation

Donor-Advised Fund), the State Department of

Education, the Lions Club and local churches and

businesses. This allowed the district to complete a

second year of the longitudinal study in 2013 at no

additional cost.

St. Lawrence PlaceSt. Lawrence Place keeps homeless families and their

children together and helps them cultivate skills to

become contributing members of the community.

With funding from the Foundation, they provided

a full-day, literacy-based summer program in 2012

to 32 children ages 4-11. The program included

daily literacy-based activities and tutoring involving

volunteers from Brockman Elementary School and

Richland Library. The children also participated

in weekly cultural activities including field trips to

museums, theaters and the zoo.

St. Lawrence Place also increased parental

involvement through Family Literacy Night events.

These events included a meal along with family

reading time and discussion. Pre- and post-testing

showed that 88 percent of the children who were

identified as “below grade level” in reading fluency

re-tested “at grade level” at the end of the program.

In addition, 93 percent of the children identified “at

grade level” in reading fluency re-tested “at grade

level” or above.

United Way of the MidlandsUnited Way’s Ready Read Succeed program

addresses the literacy needs of children ages 3-10.

The program provides professional development

for early childhood educators, family engagement

activities for preschoolers and individual literacy

tutoring for at-risk children pre-K through second

grade. As a result of the Foundation’s funding, the

United Way was able to expand from Richland One

into Lexington Two and Lexington Five.

The increased visibility allowed United Way to

leverage the Foundation’s grant funds nearly

seven times the original cash investment. New

partnerships were generated with the Leadership

Columbia (LC) Class of 2013 and the State

Department of Education. LC provided 2,500

books for the MRC tutoring program, a family

night out event, two mobile reading nooks in one

school and a complete reading room makeover

in another school. The State Department of

Education distributed more than 52,000 books

to the 14 schools served by MRC tutors for the

Summer Reading Project.
