The Powers family is happy to share that the 2019 Scholarship Recipient, Patrick Gallagher, was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays this summer. Please read more about this Leominster alum in this UConn Blog Post.

Recently, the Powers Family shared more great news, that the selected scholarship recipient for 2022 is Brady Carlin of Leominster. Brady was recently recognized with an Academic Award for his participation on the golf team in the fall.

Please congratulate Brady on his accomplishments, we wish him well and hope to greet him at the golf tournament this summer!

 

The Powers family is so happy to share that they were able to award a second scholarship for 2021! This scholarship went to Leominster graduate Tyler Smith, who will be attending Worcester State University in the fall of 2021.

The 2021 recipient of the RedStrong Memorial Scholarship is Jack Philbin, who will be attending Rich’s alma mater, Bentley University, in the fall of 2021. In college he plans on studying actuarial science and maybe minoring in something that is more focused around business, as well as playing football. Once Jack graduates he hope to pass the actuarial exams and become an actuary, working in a city like Boston. Best of luck to this soon to be falcon! Enjoy your 4 years, Jack, they go by so quick!

 

 

And last for this evening but certainly not the least, Rich’s not-so-little brother James was a recipient of the Memorial Scholarship in 2018 – James has enjoyed a great couple of years since being awarded the scholarship, and continues to absolutely crush it in the golf tournament year over year. Who is going to take him on this year??

 

The Powers Family is proud to be able to announce that the 2020 recipient of the RedStrong Memorial Scholarship is Yago Miller, who will be attending the University of Massachusetts – Amherst and majoring in Biology on the Premed track. He is also planning to walk onto the Men’s Soccer team after a successful high school career (see this article in the Leominster Champion). Please join us in congratulating Yago and wishing him well in his freshman year!

Without further ado… We are proud to announce the 4th annual recipients of the Richard J. Powers RedStrong Scholarship: Alexis Hahn and Pat Gallagher. These two Leominster graduates received their scholarships in 2019, and have since gone off to college. We hope that they enjoyed their freshman experiences despite the difficulties associated with COVID-19.

 

 

The RedStrong Foundation is proud to award Evan Andrzejewski with the 3rd annual two-thousand dollar scholarship in memory of Richie Powers. On top of playing ice hockey and golf, his strong academics, good character, and the essay he wrote about his never give up moment, he caught the eye of the scholarship committee over his 26 competing peers.  He plans to attend WPI in the fall where he still study engineering. Previous recipients: Ryan Potvin, Ed Cuddahy and Lucas Amico. Congratulations Evan and best of luck in all your future endeavors.

On June 1st Leominster high school gave out scholarships totaling $287,000.  The Powers family is so proud and it gives us great pleasure to be a part of that.  Out of 20 applicants our recipient really stood out from the rest. We are pleased to announce the winner of this year’s 2017 Richie Powers REDSTRONG Scholarship went to Lucas Amico.  Good luck to the class of 2017.
