Scholarship winners Scholarship winners

Boston, MA If there were a theme for ASM’s 20th Anniversary Golf Tournament, it may have been “more”:  more sponsors (nearly 120), more players (nearly 300), more prizes, and more fun than ever before! We also awarded more scholarships than ever before (five) to deserving students, all of whom have already started college. We’re proud that the success of our annual tournament has enabled us to provide important financial assistance to these students and their parents, who work for ASM member companies.

Shown (from left) are: Anthony Canavan, sponsored by Cox Engineering, who is attending Holy Cross; Nicole DeFeudis, sponsored by Coghlin Electrical, who has started at Boston University; Steve Kenney, ASM outgoing golf chair; Emily DiGiusto, sponsored by McGladrey, who has entered the Commonwealth Honors College at UMass-Amherst; Erika Furtado, sponsored by T.G. Gallagher, who is off to Southeastern University in Florida; and Nicholas Sacco, sponsored by Limbach Company, who is studying electrical engineering at UMass-Lowell.
