Fred never forgot his roots or how crucial education was to his success. During his professional life he became a mentor and role model to courageous young people pursuing their dreams of education. After his untimely death, friends and colleagues sought to honor his memory and continue his commitment to young people by creating the Frederick B. Abramson Memorial Foundation.
NOTE: In view of the challenging economic circumstances, the Foundation will not be soliciting new scholarship applications, holding its traditional awards luncheon, or soliciting contributions for the balance of the year, but will make awards from current funds to selected existing scholars and will continue its mentoring activities.
In the coming months, the Executive Committee and the Board will be considering alternatives for the future, including modifications to the mission, scale-down, shutting down or other possible restructuring.
The Foundation is deeply grateful to the Abramson family and friends for their past and continuing support.
