Congratulations to our 2026 Christopher Tucci Scholarship winner, Brissia Andrade-Guerra!
Brissia will be graduating from North Rockland High School this June and will be attending UConn this fall, where she plans to start her studies towards becoming a lawyer.
Brissia's passion for giving back is a huge component of what made her the ideal candidate this year. Not only does she want to become a human rights lawyer, but she has given back throughout her youth as well- most notably by giving back in memory of her own brother, Hugo, who passed away from cancer. She created the Heroes of Hope Initiative that focuses on assembling and delivering care packages of coloring books, toys, and other activities to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital to bring comfort to children who are battling cancer.
We wish Brissia the best- and thank you to all our donors and supporters who helped to make this possible. 🩵💛🤍
