Our Donors

“I thought that creating the scholarship fund was a great way of keeping his memory alive and lessening the financial burden for students like him whose goals are to become physicians.” — JOYCE DECESARE OF WATERBURY, ON HER STEPFATHER

Our Grantees

“Our idea for the school program was that if you could assess and intervene early, you can prevent more significant mental health problems from presenting later on.” —JOHN SIMONCELLI, GREENWOODS COUNSELING AND REFERRALS
