Suffolk AHRC receives unexpected grant Suffolk AHRC was awarded an unexpected major grant of $541,100 through the 2006 CompuCredit Corporation Shareholder Charitable Designation Program thanks to Oakdale resident Chad S. Hager, Controller of Second Curve Capital, LLC, who submitted the nomination because his aunt participates in AHRC's programs. Second Curve Capital, based in Manhattan, is a hedge fund specializing in financial-services companies and is CompuCredit's second largest shareholder. CompuCredit Corporation (Nasdaq: CCRT - News), based in Atlanta, is a specialty finance company and marketer of branded credit cards and related financial services. It provides services to consumers who are underserved by traditional financial firms. For Chad Hager, Suffolk AHRC has been part of his life since he was a child. His mother, Lynne Hager of Brentwood, is involved in fundraisers for the Chapter through the AHRC auxiliary and Hager has been to his share of spaghetti dinners and Chinese auctions. "I saw how hard my mom worked for the Chapter and how much AHRC benefited my aunt Donna that it was only natural to remember AHRC when this opportunity to nominate an organization arose". "We are so very grateful to Chad Hager, said Joseph P. Mammolito, AHRC executive director. "It shows what can be accomplished when someone makes the effort."
