Al Gentile Scholarship Fund

Hello Fellow Wayne Alumni, I hope you are all well and striving to move forward!

As Wayne Central is preparing to graduate another class of seniors, I would like to seek your assistance in this exciting event of their lives. It has been eight years since the passing of my father Al Gentile in 2013. At that time my sisters and I set up a memorial scholarship award to a graduating senior. We established this award to preserve Al’s legacy to the Wayne Central student community. This Wayne senior is chosen among student athletes who have
demonstrated good sportsmanship and have made significant contributions both in the classroom and to their sport.

A committee of teaching staff review the candidates and make their selection. The college bound senior receives a $500 scholarship towards their tuition. The Al Gentile Scholarship Fund is managed by the Wayne Central School District. The fund is running low and we are petitioning fellow Wayne Alumni to consider making a monetary contribution to keep the Eagle Pride alive. No amount is too small and will help our fellow Wayne student.

This scholarship has been very appreciative by our senior scholar athlete both male and female. The award is presented at the Graduation ceremony where I have the opportunity to meet and personally congratulate each recipient.

You may send your contributions by check payable to:
