The 2012 Trentini Scholar – Holden McLemore and his family
32nd Annual Banquet and 3rd Annual Silent Auction
April 4, 2012 By
The Trentini Foundation is a non-profit educational organization committed to promoting and rewarding excellence in the public, non-charter schools of the Wake Forest-Rolesville area. It was named for Tony Trentini, a teacher and coach who was an exceptional role model at what is now Wake Forest-Rolesville High School. The Trentini Scholarship is given annually to an outstanding graduating senior at WFRHS. The recipient is chosen for strong character, high academic accomplishment, community volunteerism and athletic participation following a rigorous application process.
When the Foundation began, a single $500.00 scholarship was awarded. Today, the winner receives a $30,000.00 scholarship; and the five semifinalists each receive a $1,000.00 scholarship. Another student is awarded a $1,000.00 scholarship to a community college. It is the goal of the foundation in 2013 to recognize five semifinalist nominees and a scholarship recipient, along with a community college scholar, from Heritage High School to honor their first graduating class of seniors.
In addition to the scholarships to graduating seniors, the Foundation also awards grants through the J.L. Warren Fund which is used to support and inspire the faculty at Wake Forest-Rolesville High School. The fund provides grants for the WFRHS teachers to continue their educational training, maintain certification and learn about new teaching techniques. These grants have proven to challenge and stimulate learning in our youth.
This year the Trentini Banquet will be on Saturday, April 14, at 6 p.m., at the Forks Cafeteria in Wake Forest. Our keynote speaker will be Darrell Harrison, a college football referee and a native of Wake Forest. This event honors the six finalists for the Trentini Scholarship and the community college scholarship winner. The winner of the Trentini Scholarship will be announced at the banquet.
Banquet tickets are $25.00 each and may be reserved by contacting the Foundation at trentinifoundation.org. Please indicate the number of tickets you want and the names of the people attending. Your tickets will be held at the door and you may pay at that time. We hope you will join us to honor these outstanding students. We also ask you to consider being a contributor to the Banquet or to the Silent Auction. Contribution levels are:
- Platinum Contributors–$2,500.00 or more
- Gold Contributors–$1,000.00 to $2,499.00
- Silver Contributors–$500.00 to $999.00
Contributors at these levels will be prominently displayed in the banquet program, on a banner at the event and included in all media advertisements. Donors to the Silent Auction will be prominently displayed on the Silent Auction table.
The Trentini Foundation thanks you for your support, your ideas and financial assistance, and, most of all, for your commitment to providing quality education for our young people in the Wake Forest-Rolesville community. Contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible and crucial to our continued success.
Sincerely,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Allen Tate Realtors® Support Public Education
The Trentini Foundation receives $425 from company’s Annual FUNDay
Charlotte, N.C. (March 15, 2012) – In the spirit of investing in the communities it serves, Allen Tate Realtors Wake Forest Rolesville office recently presented a check for $425 to the Trentini Foundation.
The contribution is part of more than $70,000 raised in October 2011 at Allen Tate Realtors 14th Annual FUNDay, an event where Realtors and company vendors “pay to play” and raise money for local public education organizations.
This year, Allen Tate doubled the fun and held two regional FUNDay events for the first time – October 4 at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C. and October 6 at Pine Lake Pavillion in Mebane, N.C. This year’s events included a pie-eating contest, T-shirt contest, chili cook-off, cake walk and tailgate competition, as well as other activities. A Walk for Education, 50/50 raffle and online auction also raised funds. More than 400 Allen Tate Realtors participated.
Since it began 14 years ago, FUNDay has raised more than $1,174,000 for public education across the Carolinas.
“We are extremely pleased to present this check to the Trentini Foundation. Allen Tate Realtors are passionate about public education and understands its critical importance to families making home-buying and relocation decisions. FUNDay gives everyone at Allen Tate a chance to directly impact the local school systems and organizations committed to quality education,” said Gina Van Benthuysen, branch leader of the Wake Forest Rolesville branch.
“FUNDay celebrates the spirit of working together, having fun and giving back to the communities that have been supportive to our company,” said Van Benthuysen.
“A number of our team members had researched Trentini, knew of its impact on students in the Wake Forest and Rolesville areas and felt that it was the best local organization to be the recipient of the funds from the 2011 event in which we were going to donate direct to the local community in which our branch is located. We hope to continue to grow our contribution year after year.”
Allen Tate Realtors is the Carolinas’ largest real estate company with offices in the Charlotte, Triad, Triangle and Upstate South Carolina regions.
