The RMHS Alumni Scholarship Fund was founded this past spring by Alumni Michele A. Petrillo owner of Baskets-n-Beyond located in Dumont NJ www.baskets-n-beyond.com. Michele along with fellow Alumni Dana Cardillo organized a Business Networking Reunion this past June for fellow Alumni to attend and network their various businesses. As this event started to grow and generate a profit, Michele researched several possibilities where the profits could be applied. It was then after a meeting Michele had with the RMHS Principal, Dr. Jack, and fellow Alumni Kerry Moots that the Scholarship Fund criteria was created and it was established that the Alumni Scholarship Fund would distribute two (2) $1,500.00 scholarships to two students starting with the Ridgefield Memorial HS Graduating Class of 2010 and continue with each Graduating Class thereafter.

Michele Petrillo (class of '81), Kerry Moots(class of '84) and Dana Cardillo (class of '82) will be responsible for overseeing the Scholarship Fund and will assure that two Scholarships will be distributed yearly to two graduating students from Ridgefield Memorial High School who are academically in good standing, who has not received an additional scholarship and whose family is suffering a hardship. The creation of these Scholarships will now allow the students to continue their education and allow them to take another step closer to achieving their goals.

As Rocco feels it is important to give back to his Alma Mater, we are pleased to announce that not only will Rocco be donating his time for this event but he will also be providing each participant with a signed copy of his third published fitness book. This will now allow 100% of your donation of $25.00 to go directly to the Alumni Scholarship Fund.
