We believe that working families working together can fulfill their dreams. Our members' donations support our McCusker Memorial Fund, which awarded 41 children and grandchildren $1,000.00 scholarships in 2007.

Winners are chosen each year by a panel of elected judges who are completely fair and objective. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of: 

 Scholastic ability as determined by scholarship record and/or competitive examinations;

 Financial need; and

 Social adaptation.
