In 2013, we added a third award in honor of Jeannine David, who lost her battle with cancer in 2012 and was our first Vinny Perri Memorial Scholarship winner in 1990.

In 2016, we awarded a fourth scholarship in honor of our fallen friend, brother and hero, Firefighter Greg Chevalley, who passed away in 2015 due to complications from cancer caused by ingesting the air at the World Trade Center following 9/11.

In 2017 we added a fifth scholarship honoring one of Bayport’s finest, Ed Herting, who passed away earlier that year. Ed was an outspoken supporter of all things Bayport-Blue Point, residing here for over 45 years, serving in the FDNY as well Chief of the Bayport Fire Department.

Wayne has been a resident of Bayport for 50 years and has dedicated much of his time to the community of Bayport – Blue Point. Wayne, along with Michael Marchan Jr, formed the Vinny Perri Memorial Scholarship and has worked tirelessly year after year in making what it is today…a very successful scholarship program benefiting the graduates of Bayport-Blue Point!
