It might take us more than one year but together we can make it happen! You can donate to the digital sign fund by clicking here.

The Stephen Austin Maszczak Scholarship Award started after FAD lost one of its dolphins to brain tumor in 2011. 

It is awarded to graduating students of Hunterdon Central Regional High School and is to be used for college or vocational school expenses. Desmares former students are able to apply for this scholarship in early 2022 through the counseling office at HCHRS. Students are asked to name past and present teachers or administration that influenced them in some way, big or small. Please know that your donation is making a meaningful impact on a former student, as well as continuing remembrance of a very special Desmares student, Stephen Maszczak.

You can donate here!

So far, we raised $750 because of Desmares community support!
