The Board of Directors for St. Ann’s Academy was totally surprised by the donation
From News Reports
HORNELL Well before his passing in November 2020, Mr. William Sirianni made arrangements to surprise the Board of Directors at St. Ann’s Academy.
Without mentioning it to anyone associated with the Academy, he made arrangements to help them by earmarking a $10,000 donation in his will. It was not his first time making a sizeable donation; Mr. Sirianni was also instrumental when the Academy was started in 2012.
“We became aware of the bequest only after receiving a letter from his attorney John Dagon in January,” said Sister Dolores Ann Stein, who serves on the Board of Directors for St. Ann’s Academy. “We were totally surprised.”

“We have a new child. Charlotte is like a different child. It is amazing to see the new progress and the things that she is able to do that she never did,” Chris Cavanaugh reported.
The kidney transplant was the latest physical challenge for Charlotte who was diagnosed with spina bifida and underwent fetal surgery to close her spine weeks before she was born. Complications with her kidneys ensued and required her to undergo nightly dialysis for the past three years.
During synchronized surgeries at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the adjacent Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia last month, doctors implanted one of Chris’s kidneys into Charlotte’s abdomen. A second surgery was required when the kidney initially failed to produce urine.
