    June 2014

    Anthony C. Ruggerio Scholarship My son is Anthony C. Ruggerio. He left us much too soon on June 21, 2014 at 27 years young. A handsome, generous and loving young man. We will always keep him alive in our hearts. Please keep him in your prayers. TDR is in the process in putting together the scholarship with the great aid Dr. Payne of Dowling College. This will be an annual scholarship which I want to help the young of this country who have greater pressure's than we had to endure. Life is so fragile; we have a responsibility to help. Due to the timing of Anthony's death, we did not have a lot of time to organize this for this year. We have just received the official Anthony C Ruggerio Scholarship from the college. Dr. Clyde Payne has been tremendous. Every penny of all donations, no matter how small or how large, goes directly to Dowling College to help needy students. This will be an annual event (I will never allow anyone to forget my son). Next year, with more time to plan, we will arrange a golf outing at a golf course in Long Island. I will bring many of my friends from the NFL, NBA, MLB and Boxing world to make a spectacular event. Again every single penny goes to Dowling College. I will keep you all updated. My heartfelt thanks to every single one of you all. Any amount would be greatly appreciated to help needy students who are struggling to gain their education. Checks should be made out to Dowling College, and in the memo line note The Anthony C. Ruggerio Scholarship And mailed to the attention of: Dr. Clyde I. Payne Vice President for Student Affairs Dowling College Oakdale, NY 11769 Phone: 631-244-3404 email: [email protected]
