O
ver the Years UCANE has seen many changes in our industry and in our communities. Certainly, the last two years have been anything but “normal” for all of us due to COVID-19. One thing that has remained consistent is UCANE member’s commitment to the next generation of future leaders. That is why for the past 48 years UCANE has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to over 500 sons, daughters, and grandchildren of UCANE members who chose to pursue higher education after high school. Although these students vary in their career choices and interests, each one of them exemplifies what UCANE stands for as an association: hard work, dedication, commitment to family, and service to their communities. On May 12, UCANE hosted our Annual Scholarship Awards Dinner at Brookmeadow Country Club in Canton, MA, to recognize the achievements of the 12 outstanding students receiving UCANE’s 2022 Scholarships. Joining the students were family, friends, UCANE members, and guests. After a brief “meet and greet” session, Executive

Director Jeff Mahoney kicked off the event by welcoming everyone and congratulating the winners for their impressive resumes. Jeff also recognized the parents who undoubtedly deserved credit for helping to successfully guide their children through what is becoming an increasingly challenging academic and social experience for young adults today. Jeff then introduced our keynote speaker for the evening, former New England Patriots Linebacker, Matt Chatham (Sponsored by Broadstone Advisors, LLC). After a standout high school career in Iowa, Matt set some school records at the University of South Dakota where he played for four years. NFL scouts had their eyes on Matt, who was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in 1999. Matt played Linebacker and special teams (jersey #58) for the New England Patriots from 2000-2005 where he earned three Super Bowl Rings. Matt played for the New York Jets from 2006-2008.
