Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation Scholarship

/in /by

FOR SENIORS

On September 11, 2001 Mark Bavis lost his life aboard United Airlines flight 175 which struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center. His loss was a devastating blow to the National Hockey League and all who knew and Loved him. The Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation was born out of Marks devotion to young men and women who are willing to work hard in their pursuit of success. Mark devoted much of his life to the development of young men and women, encouraging them to follow their dreams. He coached them in hockey, a game he loved, but more importantly, he was a role model, mentor and friend to them all. It is our hope that this Foundation will make a positive impact on its recipients and that they in turn will make an impact on the future of this country. That will be Mark’s continued and lasting legacy.

The family and friends of Mark Bavis have established a foundation in Marks name to preserve his memory and to perpetuate the principles by which he lived every day through which he touched many lives

The Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation was created to allow deserving young men and women to enjoy opportunities and experiences similar to those which contributed to Mark the person that he was.

We will accomplish this by providing selected recipients with annual grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to be used as specifically requested for school tuition, summer programs and other appropriate extracurricular activities. These grants will be funded by income generated off of the Foundation’s capital. With the help of friends, individual benefactors and corporate sponsors, our near term goal is to endow the Foundation with $1,000,000, allowing us to award $50,000 in grants each year. Through the kindness and generosity of so many people, The Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation raised more than $400,000 representing nearly one half of our million dollar goal.

September 11, 2001 changed all our lives forever. We are determined to create something good and lasting out of this tragedy. We are determined that Mark’s spirit will endure and continue to enrich the lives of many. Your support and generosity in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Shawn J. McDuff Memorial Scholarship

/in , , /by

FOR SENIORS

Shawn J McDuff passed away at the age of 49 on December 31, 2017. He was afflicted with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and outlived all the expectations that were given to him by his medical team. He was the consummate and most loyal New England sports fan that lived. He served as the Muscular Dystrophy State Poster Child for two years which enabled him to teach people about his disease and that he was a typical child that wanted to play and learn as others do.

Shawn was the one of the first disabled students to attend public school versus homeschooling. He received his Bachelor’s degree of Social Work from Salem State University and worked his entire career at the Independent Living Center of the North Shore and Cape Ann. He was the Deputy Director of the Center. He was an advocate for all his clients and helped them with services, support and compassion so that they too could live independently. He had the use of only one finger and had a breathing machine on his chair to assist him yet he went to work every day to help others. He gave of himself for others at the job he loved for 27 years.

Eligible applicants must possess the qualities and traits that Shawn personified. Preference will be given to a student who achieves their academic goals, strives to live independently despite their disability with the intention to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
