Christopher G. Brousaides Scholarship Program
Last year we raised $6,000.00 in honor of Christopher G. Brousaides, one of the founders of the Brousaides Charitable Foundation, who served as a trustee since inception. Chris was devoted to the foundation’s mission of helping others.
From the proceeds of our fundraiser, we were able to raise money to give a $2,000.00 scholarship for the next three years to a Norwood High School senior student who was influenced by the arts during their high school education.
Our first scholarship was handed out in June 2024, and we plan on giving out another scholarship to a senior in the 2025 graduating class.
