Class of 2011 Billy Lupo Scholarship Award Ceremonies, 1 June, 2011
Since the passing of our Brother Billy Lupo, the club has held a memorial poker run in his honor each year. Billy had been a science teacher in the Pawtucket, Rhode Island public school system for 30 years. In his memory the club has awarded a scholarship to an exceptional science student who intends to pursue further education and a career in that field. This award started out as one scholarship for one student, then grew to two. With the City of Pawtucket having two high schools, there was the desire to provide awards for students in each school.
With the phenomenal success of our 2010 Billy Lupe Memorial Poker Run, the club was able to raise enough money to provide for not one, but two deserving students, at each high school. One each for $1,000.00 and one for $500.00
