| The
P.J. Ferriolo Fund
The P.J. Ferriolo Fund was established by his family
in memory of P.J. Ferriolo who tragically lost his life
in an airplane accident in October 1999.
P.J. was a young man who was a late bloomer but had
learned the value of a good education on the way towards
accomplishing his dream of becoming a pilot. After his
sudden death, his parents through a proper tribute to
his memory would be an annual scholarship to be awarded
to a graduating senior at Branford High School who had
exhibited an interest in aeronautics, either flying
or engineering.
P.J.'s parents asked the Branford Community Foundation
to be the vehicle for the collection and management
of the funds. The response from the family and friends
of P.J,. and the community has been overwhelming. The
first scholarship was awarded at the Branford High School
graduation in June 2000.
