Billy C. was a huge part of the Capital District community until his untimely death last November.
Billy was a family man first, then a dedicated businessman and an amazing friend. He grew up an avid athlete at Scotia-Glenville High School (captain of the varsity basketball and golf teams), and an honors classes scholar. He went on to marry his college sweetheart Alison -- and together they raised three children Jack, Allie and Patrick in the Niskayuna school district.
Billy C. was far too important to let his tragedy stand as his legacy; therefore -- The Billy C. Memorial Scholarship has been established at both Niskayuna High School (where two of his children graduated and his third will graduate this year), and at his alma-mater Scotia-Glenville High School.
These scholarships will be awarded annually to a college bound student who exemplifies sportsmanship, tenacity and determination.
Initial funding for the scholarship in 2022 will come from friends and family. However, to make this sustainable we will host an annual Billy C. Memorial Golf Tournament, to raise money for future years' scholarships. The tournament will require initial money to get it off the ground!
We need to:
- Book the golf course (hopefully Schenectady Muni, where Billy recently scored a HOLE-IN-ONE, or at The Edison Club where he had been a member).
- Arrange for prizes, including getting "Hole-in-one insurance" to fund a prize for the golfer who can pull-off a Billy C. type feat at his tournament.
- Arrange catering for the event.
- Prepare and distribute marketing materials.
EVERYONE LOVED BILLY C. This is our chance to preserve the legacy of one of the best of us.
Thank You.
