John E. Tavera Memorial Fund Sponsors the Tramps St. Paul Scholarship

The Bristol Tramps Sports Reunion Committee salute the John E. Tavera Memorial Committee for their recent offer to sponsor the Bristol Tramps, Julie Larese St. Paul Catholic High School Scholarship.  The Bristol Tramps scholarship of $1,000 for a senior at each of Bristol’s High Schools, includes matching funds from D’Amato Construction and Scalia Brothers.

“Having the Tramps scholarship named after my brother made perfect sense as John E. was a sports enthusiast, soccer player and graduate of St. Paul High.  To have this yearly scholarship made in his name is another way of keeping his memory alive for years to come”, according to Tramps Committee member Joe Tavera.

The Bristol Tramps Sports Reunion Dinner will be held on April 11.  Tickets are available by contacting a member of the Tramps Committee or via the CONTACT US link on this site.
