As the summer winds down and students gear up for the return to school, the Pizzi Foundation has stepped up once again to support Boston's youth. In a generous show of community commitment, the foundation has handed out nearly $50,000 in scholarships to high school students involved with the Boston Police Department (BPD) programming for teens. The scholarships were announced at a celebratory luncheon hosted by BPD Commissioner Cox, the command staff and officers, alongside board members from the Pizzi Foundation.

According to a recent announcement by the BPD, twenty-one deserving students were honored for their accomplishments and revealed their chosen colleges and universities. Families and foundation representatives came together to recognize the hard work and dedication of these young individuals. "We were joined by Board Members from the Pizzi Foundation, and the 21 amazing scholarship recipients and their families to celebrate their accomplishments," stated the BPD.

As these students get ready for college, the support from the Pizzi Foundation is a crucial step toward their future success. "Good luck to all the students who are going back to school in the coming weeks!" said the BPD, reflecting the community's hope for Boston's brightest.
