In less than a day, the goal of $3,000 was met&#8230;and exceeded. Today, over $5,500 has been put into the GoFundMe. On December 18th, there was a presentation of a check to Rosemary, along with multiple offers to help her plan her trip to Florida. Timothy Meyer presented the check and commented, &#8220;The only thing warmer than Rosemary&#8217;s heart is the shores of Florida.&#8221; Multiple alumni and previous staff made up a majority of the donations. Chris Hage, creator of the GoFundMe and IMSA alumnus, explains:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The success of the [GoFundMe] effort is all due to the warm feelings everyone who attended IMSA has for Rosemary.<\/p>\n<p>She was genuinely nice to everyone who came through the door. &nbsp;She remembered names and she beamed kindness. Perhaps that consistency and sincerity was particularly welcome to tired and moody teenagers separated from their families.<\/p>\n<div>I think it\u2019s nice that her good nature and kindness are getting rewarded with a nice trip.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_20790\" style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20790\" class=\" wp-image-20790\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2017\/12\/big-one-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2017\/12\/big-one-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/files\/2017\/12\/big-one.png 565w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20790\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alumni come to present the check to Rosemary Forni.
