THE SARA AND GARY MORGATTO UNSUNG HERO SCHOLARSHIP
While Seymour Pink was officially founded in 2010, the concept began in 2007 when Sara and Gary Morgatto, owners of the Brookside Inn in Oxford, agreed to host a pasta dinner to help raise money for a breast cancer walk that Mary Deming, founder of Seymour Pink, Inc., was participating in that year. The Morgatto’s have hosted Seymour Pink’s annual pasta dinner now for 16 years and in thanks and appreciation of their generosity, the Board of Seymour Pink has established a scholarship in their honor.
This year the Board of Directors’ of Seymour Pink will be offering one $500.00 scholarship in the Morgatto’s honor to a deserving college bound student.
