We're remembering Will DeGregorio today on what would have been his 17th birthday. We were proud to recently donate $6,120 from the proceeds of Track Friday to the Cranford Police Athletic League for their scholarship in Will's name.

These proceeds help the Cranford Police Athletic League scholarship continue and honor Will’s memory. Scholarship applicants are asked to share a significant experience where they followed Will's example and used perseverance, bravery, or courage when facing a challenge on the field, in the classroom, or in everyday life.

We're honored to have Will's family and friends join us at Track Friday every year.

Six students were honored last year with the Cranford PAL Will DeGregorio Memorial Scholarship. Each honoree exemplified Will's perseverance and bravery when facing a challenge on the field, in the classroom, or in their lives.

We’ve been proud to honor Will’s memory each year by raising money for this scholarship at Track Friday. Last year more than $5,500 was raised, but we're trending significantly below that this year. Please join us by adding your support here: mightycause.com/story/Cranfordpal2025
