SHOP (Sandy Hook Organization for Prosperity) President Joe Hemingway presented Newtown Scholarship Association President Glenn Nanavaty with a donation of $1,000 on Thursday, July 17.

The donation will go to fund SHOP’s third annual scholarship, and the Newtown Scholarship Association will choose the deserving recipient of the scholarship, who will be a Sandy Hook resident interested in pursuing a business major in college.

Kevin Liniger,  a 2014 Newtown High School graduate, was the recipient of this year’s scholarship.

The money for the donation was raised through SHOP’s 3rd Annual SHOP Food, Beer, and Wine Tasting event held in June.
