CCF’s Scholarship program celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2024! Thanks to CCF Member and High School Scholarship Committee Chair, Frank Somma, we're kicking off this celebration with a fundraising event at the Townhouse to create a 40th Anniversary High School Scholarship. Our goal is to raise $30,000, which will provide $7500 per year for four years to the student who receives it. The dedication of so many CCF members and friends has made this program possible. Today, the program continues to thrive and grow thanks to the generosity of CCF members, the success of the annual Gala, and, most importantly, the tremendous achievements of the students who receive these awards. The program has distributed nearly $40 million in support to Italian American students since its inception and each year we meet ever-more deserving students who demonstrate they are leaders in their personal and professional lives. All year we are celebrating this great milestone. Stay tuned for oral histories from past and present members who have helped shape the Scholarship program, events with past recipients, and special initiatives to make the program even stronger.
