Proudly serving workers in
The Philip T. Chancholo Memorial Golf Tournament is held annually to benefit the UFCW Local 791 Scholarship Fund. For over twenty
years, Local 791 has awarded annual scholarships to a countless number of our members and/or their children to assist in their goal
of achieving a higher education. The scholarship recipients live and work in communities throughout
This tournament is named in memory
of former Local 791 Business Agent Philip Chancholo, a long time union member and employee of Shaw’s Supermarkets who sadly passed
away in 2000. Phil was a dedicated trade unionist who went above and beyond the call of duty in representing members of our
union.
Our sincere thanks go out to everyone who support our event every year and for those who will support us in the
future. We wouldn’t have a successful scholarship program without the generous ongoing support of those who participate in our
golf event.
Local 791 awards 22 scholarships annually to union members and/or the sons and daughters of Local 791 members who apply. All scholarships are funded by the UFCW Local 791 Scholarship Fund.
Five of the scholarships are awarded for academic achievement and the remaining 17 are selected by lottery. Applications for scholarships are made available through your union steward usually in March. The Executive Board selects winners of the scholarships in May.
Please
watch your union bulletin board and this website for the scholarship posting.
