Robert Ash Fund To Support Valley School Athletics And Extracurricular Programs Forever
The Robert L. Ash Endowment Fund was established in 2017 by Beryl St. Albyn Hargood-Ash in honour of
her nephew, with the income from the Fund to be given annually to a charity or organization of his
choice. Mr. Ash, a long-time supporter of secondary school athletics and a former high school wrestling
coach, chose Comox Valley Schools as the beneficiary. The annual income will be used to fund secondary
school sports team travel, specifically to provincial championships or in support of
interprovincial/international exchanges, to assist individual athletes requiring financial assistance, and to
fund travel expenses related to other extracurricular programs. Comox Valley Schools will establish a
committee, representative of all secondary schools, to disburse the funds each year.
