In late November the Ashland community was stunned and saddened by the sudden loss of former resident and community partner, Steve Uliss. Steve was a huge part of the community and gave of his time and talents to many events and causes. The Uliss family has created the Steve Uliss Culinary Scholarship program in honor of Steve to serve the students of his alma mater, Shawsheen Valley Technical High School.

WACA had a very long relationship with Steve that has spanned over 20 years. Because of this strong connection, WACA is conducting a donor challenge to assist in raising funds for this scholarship. For every dollar contributed to the scholarship fund, WACA will donate a matching amount up to $2,000. The challenge will run through March 14. Donations to the scholarship can be made payable to Steve Uliss Culinary Scholarship and addressed to Amy Uliss, PO Box 130, Hopkinton, MA 01748
