2011 Scholarships Awarded

Last year’s fundraiser funded two scholarships for graduates of Amity Regional High School’s class of 2011. Colleen Oleynik of Woodbridge was awarded the Jared Rosner Athletic Scholarship and is now a freshman at Gettysburg College. The Jared Rosner Bucknell Scholarship was awarded to Kelly Udelsman, also of Woodbridge.

In addition, a donation was made to Columbus House, a New Haven organization that provides meals and emergency shelter to the homeless. The first fundraiser, in December of 2004, had the goal of raising money for one scholarship. Eight years later, we have been able to expand beyond that, funding two scholarships annually and providing over $16,000 to community organizations that Jared supported, such as Columbus House and the Ronald McDonald House, and some that he might have wanted to support, such as the Parenting Support Programs at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

Please see the Scholarship page for information on how to give!
