Featured Scholar: Joseph Cavera

High School Scholarship Recipient and YAA Board Member
I was the first in my family to receive a scholarship from CCF in 2005 to attend high school, followed by my older brother Robert, who received a college scholarship in 2006, and our middle sister Veronica, who received hers in 2007 also for college. We still have our CCF award certificates hanging in our family home in New Jersey, and the scholarships we received have made remarkable differences in each of our lives.

Featured Scholar: Jamie Bianco

A CCF Dual HS and College CCF Scholarship Recipient in her Junior Year at Sacred Heart University Studying Nursing
Healthcare has been the field of study I have been interested in my whole life as I have always wanted to help others. I am currently a junior at Sacred Heart University in their nursing program. I have been attending clinicals and have had hands-on opportunities, such as witnessing a cesarean section delivery, that is shaping what I wanted to do with my career. The bachelor’s in nursing program has taught me diligence, how to keep my head up, and never give up.

A recent UPenn graduate working in the healthcare field shares thoughts on his Italian heritage and the CCF Scholarship he received
I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania (C’19) where I pursued a major in Health and Societies, minors in Healthcare Management and Neuroscience, and supplementary coursework through Wharton. Currently, I work as an Associate Consultant at Putnam Associates, a strategy consulting firm serving global biopharmaceutical clients, where I have to date worked on engagements supporting cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, along with the global commercialization of several new vaccines. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking Italian cuisine, playing the drums, and drawing portraits.

Roasted Rack of Lamb An Easter Favorite:

John's Notes:

For over twenty-five years our Roasted Rack of Lamb has been a huge hit with Members and their guests. We've actually served this dish many times on New Year's Eve as well. It's simple and easy to prepare at home. I've done side by side comparisons of lamb from many other regions, nationally and internationally, and while they might look the same but I assure you - they don't taste the same. Something about the flavor and texture of the Colorado lamb used in this recipe makes it sensational.
