Press release from the Hoffman DiMuzio law firm in Woodbury.
The law firm of Hoffman DiMuzio has allocated close to half a million dollars to its Gift of the Heart Community Scholarship Foundation. Each of the 21 high schools in Gloucester, Cumberland and Salem counties have selected two students to receive a $1,000 scholarship for embodying the service ideals of the program. The scholarship recipients from Clearview Regional High School are Maggie Sullivan and Damien Wilson.
Maggie Sullivan
From the time she was a child, Sullivan has realized the need to give back to those who have helped her.
As student supervisor of the school’s Hoagies for Hope event, she was in charge of fundraising, recruiting students to participate and handling public relations.
As a result of her efforts, the group raised close to $25,000, which was donated to the families of two children stricken with devastating illnesses. Sullivan has made a lifetime commitment to serving others and seeking ways to help those in need.
Damien Wilson
Wilson considers it an honor to give back to his community. As a member of the school’s Key Club and student council, he has participated in food and clothing drives, making cards and care packages for veterans and raising funds for children with illnesses.
Outside of school, Wilson volunteers at the Mantua Little League as an assistant coach and runs the snack stand at almost every game during the spring and summer seasons. He is driven by a desire and passion to make a positive impact upon his community and finds a rewarding experience in every service opportunity.
