2017 Recipients

Joseph Merino and Maria Krug

In June of this year the Stephen D. Quinn Memorial Scholarships were awarded at Our Lady of Victory School.

The recipients are carefully chosen by the Principal and Teachers based on the Foundation’s criteria for the award. The two candidates truly embody Quinnie’s sense of sportsmanship and fair play.

The scholarships were awarded to Joseph Merino and Maria Krug. Each candidate received a beautiful plaque and a $1000 scholarship. Joseph and Maria represent all the qualities that Quinnie stood for. I like to share the recipients words of thanks so that everyone can see just how much this scholarship means to them.

From Joseph Marino, “I can’t thank the Stephen D. Quinn foundation enough for granting me this incredible honor. As I read about Mr. Quinn, I realized how loving and wonderful he was to the people around him. I wish one day I will be able to reflect his sense of love and care toward all people.”

As always, Kaitlyn and I are so impressed by the recipients of this award. Joseph and Maria are very accomplished young people. This Scholarship is such a lovely way for us to know that Quinnie is still doing what he did best, reaching out to kids and affecting their lives.

Each year we come together and have a wonderful day of golf and celebrate “Quinnie.” Thanks to the generosity of all involved with this Foundation, we are able to keep “Quinnie’s” legacy alive. We congratulate Joseph and Maria and wish them well as they move on to high school.

Congratulations,
Kathy and Kaitlyn
