Aside
from supporting various competitive academic teams with its financial support,
the ACE Foundation seeks to publicize and celebrate the teams' accomplishments.
In addition to assisting in the publication of news stories in the Trumbull Times
and Connecticut Post, this website's Teams in the News
page features reprints as well as various other articles and photos covering teams'
activities.
The foundation has also hosted and subsidized a
Celebration Banquet for all team members and their families, as well as the teams'
advisors, toward the end of the school year for the past five years. An article
appearing in the Trumbull Times that provides additional information about these
festive evenings is posted below.
Some
of the notable accomplishments over the past six years of teams/groups receiving
ACE Foundation support are noted below.
