Congratulations to these outstanding scholar-athletes!
With the Elmwood Park Athletic Hall of Fame Dinner just around the corner, we would like to remind everyone that for the last five years, in addition to honoring great former athletes and coaches from East Paterson and Elmwood Park, the Hall of Fame has proudly awarded the Alfred L. Vinci Scholarships, named for one of the founding members of the Hall of Fame. Alfred L. Vinci was a life-long resident of Elmwood Park and one of the more revered teachers, coaches, mentors and administrators from the East Paterson school system.
The scholarships are annually presented to two graduating high school seniors who embody the characteristics so important to Al Vinci, excellence on the athletic field and in the classroom. This year, the Hall of Fame will be continuing the tradition of honoring both a young man and woman senior student-athlete. The Hall of Fame sees these scholarships as a way to maintain an important relationship with the Elmwood Park High School, recognize two exceptional student athletes from the school, and remember an important member of the Elmwood Park and Hall of Fame communities who made a life-long contribution to the youth of Elmwood Park.
This year, we are once again asking that attendees to the dinner contribute something more to the ticket price. The current ticket price provides for a wonderful meal from The Fiesta as well as money that will be utilized for grants to selected athletic programs in town. This year, any contributions made in excess of the ticket price will be used to fund the Hall of Fame Scholarships. Recommended donations are $10 per ticket, or whatever amount you would like to contribute. If you are unable to attend the dinner, your donation is still very much appreciated.
Donations should be made to the EP Athletic Hall of Fame.
Thank you for your support of these scholarships. We look forward to seeing you at the dinner.
