Dr. York Chynn and Mrs. Marie Noelle Chynn
Once again the Academy of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is proud to announce the winners of the Chynn Family Foundation’s Ethics and Morality Essay Contest! The six winners, two from each Middle School class, were chosen out of dozens of entries. Whether writing of the importance of service to the community or sharing their personal faith stories our students embraced the Chynn Foundation’s challenge of living and thinking about ethics in making this a more just and compassionate world.
The Chynn Family Foundation is recognized by the IRS as a charitable organization, and was established in 2005 to promote research/education and morality/ethics. The Chynn Family Foundation has donated $100,000 to fund an essay contest for middle school students at the Academy of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Tenafly, NJ, $10,000 to fund a scholarship for high school students at St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark, NJ, $100,000 to support the School of Social Work at Fordham University (where Mrs. Chynn received her MSW), $100,000 to support research by radiology residents at Columbia University’s Department of Radiology (where Dr. Chynn is Clinical Professor of Radiology Emeritus), and $100,000 to support research in neuro-radiology with the Radiology Society of North America (RSNA).
