TCSF DINNER RAISES NEARLY $800,000 TO UNDERWRITE SCHOLARSHIPS AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS FOR INNER-CITY CHILDREN
Towering above the microphone at Tri-County Scholarship Fund’s Annual Awards Dinner on October 25 was Terrell Williams, a Junior at Paterson Catholic High School and aspiring Division 1 basketball player. Williams served as one of the night’s student speakers and praised TCSF for giving him the opportunity through educational scholarships to overcome life’s hardships and attend a quality school.
Deidra Hansford, a 7th grader from St. Anthony School, shared her dream of becoming a business owner. She told the audience, “When you donate to Tri-County, your money is giving kids a chance to fulfill their dreams and be successful. Remember, you do make a difference!”
The event, held in Whippany at the Hanover Marriot, celebrated the achievements of TCSF recipients while raising nearly $800,000 for scholarship and leadership programs.
