AAGA expands scholarship awards, names five North Attleboro student-athletes
Summary
AAGA announced it has expanded from a single $500 award to five scholarships and named local student-athlete winners; two recipients also received $2,000 awards from a separate Winner Fund, transcript says.
Presenter said AAGA began with a single $500 scholarship and that “George Firdette… kicked in another 500,” bringing the early award total to $1,000. The presenter said the program has since grown and now awards five scholarships, three designated as AAGA Thomas Key scholarships, funded initially by donors including Thomas and Drew Chapman.
The presenter named the primary recipients as Caden Al Brighetti (golf captain), Ryan Bacneux (golf captain) and Alex Cajoyan (hockey captain), saying all winners are from North Attleboro. The presenter described the selection night, noting that panel members present (including “Bobby” and Steve Nelson) agreed the three were deserving and decided to award multiple scholarships rather than limit the number. The transcript identifies an additional Renner scholarship named in honor of John Buck Renner that is awarded to a student from Bishop Feehan or King Philip; the presenter noted the honoree Jimmy began at King Philip and finished his career with coach Neil Lowe.
The presenter also named Cormac Cunningham and Hanley Correa as recipients and stated those two “are also getting $2,000 scholarships from the Winner Fund.” The transcript does not specify award amounts for the AAGA Thomas Key scholarships or for the Renner scholarship. No formal motions, votes, or municipal actions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
The remarks were delivered as an announcement of winners and donors; the transcript places the discussion entirely in an awards/announcement context rather than as part of a school board or municipal vote.
