Mascaro Ptaszenski added, "During the last seven years, the Mascaro company has awarded approximately $9 million for student scholarships and supplemental educational programming. My grandfather and company founder, Joseph P.

P. Mascaro & Sons feels the same."
J. P. Mascaro & Sons company President, Pat Mascaro, said, "When a company commits to funding student scholarships and educational initiatives, it is also committing to the betterment of the local community as a whole. J. P. Mascaro & Sons is proud to have participated substantially in such funding in the past, and it looks forward to doing so for many years to come."
