Pride. Tradition. Community.
The Nyack Tower Fund is a group of Nyack Alumni who are dedicated to fulfilling a dream to build a perfect reduced size replica of the old Nyack clock tower school building, and bring it to the new field to light our communities sporting events. Not only to honor the tradition of past generations, but to instill that same pride of community and togetherness for countless generations to come.
Our vision for our new memorial Tower is exactly as it is shown in the Pictures and VIDEO above. Hit the play button and take a look at all the pictures by clicking on the more button.
These renditions would be what the sports complex at the New Nyack High School will look like if we can raise our very aggressive fund raising goal of $374,000, and all Donations are Tax deductable as we are a 501c3 charity.
The Nyack Tower Fund was born out a simple idea. If Nyack was going to move all athletic events away from the old high school, and the clock tower, maybe we can bring, the history, tradition, and the Clock Tower with us to the new fields by building a smaller perfect replica of the old building, and use it as the new field complex press box.

THE SENNAS_McGOWAN / CROWTHER MEMORIAL TOWER
One of the best parts of our Nyack community has always the amazing people! Selfless and full of character. They represent the best of us.
Two people who represented the best of Nyack were lost in the tragic attacks on 9/11. Those two individuals were Stacey Sennas McGowan, and Welles Crowther
Due to the incredible individual sacrifices they made that fateful day, and to honor them both, our new Tower will be called the Sennas/Crowther Memorial Tower.
We ask for your generous help to honor these fallen alumni in the best tradition of Nyack.
We need your help to raise funds, and generate support to Bring the Tower Home.
Please Join us: We are always looking for Volunteers! Please Contact Dan Berkowitz at 917-826-0850 if you would like to Volunteer to help spread the word for our Bring the Tower Home Campaign!
