Lauralton awarded DeLuca Grant

Posted on Apr 01, 2010

Lauralton Hall was recently awarded a grant from the Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation.  The charitable donation, totaling $4000, will be used to award scholarships to students as well as helping fund the school’s guest speaker program. Fred DeLuca, founder of Milford-based Subway Restaurants, started the foundation as a way of giving others the same chance he got when a family friend gave him $1000 to open a sandwich shop. According to Subway’s Corporate Communications Director Michele DiNello, the Foundation “looks to give local support and awards grants for programs related to education, job training, and self sufficiency programs.”  

In addition to grant money received from the DeLuca Foundation, Subway also supports the school in other ways, such as through food donations and in giving career advice to students. Subway employees Michele DiNello and Assistant Director of Human Resources Lisa Shea have graciously offered to advise students about careers at Lauralton Hall’s upcoming Career Day. Lauralton Hall External Relations Coordinator Julie Kinsella,’88 states, “we are very grateful for the generous support of the Frederick A. Deluca Foundation as well as for all the ways in which Subway is helping Lauralton Hall and our students.”
