Supporting the next generation of leaders is something we take great pride in. The Mangano Family Foundation and Mangano Family Funeral Home of Middle Island were honored to award five $1,000 scholarships to deserving Longwood High School students who have strong ties to our local fire departments, either through their own service or through a family member’s dedication to the fire service.
Each recipient was selected by their respective fire chief, making these awards especially meaningful. We are grateful for the continued support of our local fire departments and are always honored to stand alongside them in recognizing these outstanding young men and women.
A special thank you to Councilman Michael Loguercio, an active member of the Ridge Fire Department, for helping present the scholarship to Ridge’s recipient.
Congratulations to this year’s scholarship recipients: Noah Wheate (Coram), Kathleen Alt (Middle Island), Candida Mazzie (Ridge), Spencer Austin (Yaphank), and Maya Adams (Gordon Heights).
We wish each of these students continued success as they pursue their educational and career goals. Their hard work, commitment, and connection to our local communities make us all proud.
