THE CHARLES EVANS SCHOLARSHIP

Charles Evans (1926-2007)

For the 12th year, the Sons of Italy Foundation® (SIF) is proud to award The Charles Evans Scholarship, a perpetual scholarship funded by an endowment from the Charles Evans Foundation.

A successful businessman, U.S. veteran, and philanthropist, Charles Evans cofounded the fashion house Evan-Picone and was Executive Producer of the Academy Award-winning film, “Tootsie.”

Mr. Evans crusaded for causes close to his heart, namely fire detection safety and Alzheimer’s disease research, and served as National Director of the Alzheimer’s Association. The SIF is grateful to the Charles Evans Foundation and Linda Munson Rothkopf for having made this perpetual scholarship possible.
