RISO, Inc., an inkjet printer manufacter, and the Foundation To Be Named Later are teaming up to send 14 Boston Public School students to college this fall.
The two sides are awarding "Foundation To Be Named Later Peter Gammons Scholarships" to 14 students in the Boston area that will help pay for their college tuition. They will also be provided with mentors and brand new laptops.
RISO, Inc. and the Foundation To Be Named Later — which was founded by Theo Epstein and his brother, Paul Epstein — first teamed up in 2010, when they awarded the scholarships to five students in Peter Gammons' name.
"The Foundation strives to create positive opportunities for underprivileged youth, and we are grateful to RISO for enabling us to send these deserving Boston Public School students to college in Peter's name," Paul Epstein said in a press release. "Peter is a passionate advocate for young people and our biggest champion and we cannot think of a better way to honor him for all of his remarkable work in the community."
The students will receive an honorary send-off at Fenway Park this fall.
