Help us raise money

For participating in The 2024 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

Our story…

Money raised during the Falmouth road race will be used to support one of the core pillars in our mission statement, education. The Laurie Melchionda Scholarship was established in 2022 at her alma mater, UMass Boston. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide support to one or more undergraduate and/or graduate student(s) in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences who have unmet financial need. Preference will be given to students who are returning to their education after a cumulative gap of two or more years in higher education, making a career change to nursing, and/or are seeking a graduate degree to advance their nursing career.

The scholarship is a perpetual tribute to Laurie’s devotion to her community and the children for whom she cared at Boston Children’s Hospital, in the Braintree and Weston Public school systems, and as a member of the Braintree and Weston Board of Health.  It is a testament to a working mom and the values she instilled in pursuing higher education. 

It is with your donations that we will be able to continue lending aid to future Melchionda Scholars. We thank you immensely for your support!
