To mark the first anniversary of the death of Joseph "Joey" Vasconcelos, his family and friends announce that a $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a graduating member of the Class of 2010.  "Joey" was a 2006 graduate of Wareham High School.

The funds for the scholarship were raised at the First Annual Joseph X. Vasconcelos Memorial Baseball Tournament held on August 22, 2009. The tournament will be an annual event to remember Joey's love and talent for the game of baseball and the primary source of raising funds for future scholarships.
