Hewitt-Trussville Alumna Announced as Executive Director 

TRUSSVILLE, ALABAMA. The Trussville City Schools Foundation Board of Directors announces that Stacy (Cardwell) Gay is the foundation’s new Executive Director. Gay succeeds Marty Estes, who resigned earlier this year.

“Mrs. Estes and the TCSF board have, in my opinion, done a superb job of getting this foundation off the ground, creating an endowment and raising money to benefit our four schools,” said Gay. “It is a privilege to be allowed this opportunity to help it grow!”

A 2000 graduate of Hewitt-Trussville High School, Gay holds two bachelor’s degrees and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.  For the past three years, she has served as a major gifts officer for UAB, working with alumni, community leaders and other constituents to secure funding for scholarships, endowments and operational funds.

“We are very excited to have Stacy join us as our Executive Director,” said Zeke Smith, president of the TCSF Board of Directors. “Her education, experience and love for our schools will provide us with the necessary leadership to continue with our mission of support for the Trussville City Schools system.”
