SAFE Coalition announces PEERS Scholarship award: Emma Kucich

Each year, the SAFE Coalition is honored to provide one graduating senior with the PEERS Scholarship. This scholarship fund was established and donated by the Sacchetti Family in close collaboration with the SAFE Coalition and Franklin High School. 

We are Extremely excited to offer this annual $5,000 scholarship award to a graduating FHS Senior in recognition of their selfless and often underappreciated and unrecognized commitment to raising awareness and educating and influencing their PEERS about substance use and prevention.

This year, we are proud to announce Emma Kucich as the PEERS Scholarship award recipient. Emma has been participating in the coalition for three years, has been an active member in meetings and programming, has been a driving force for her peers at school to seek additional mental health support, is a strong advocate for peer recovery services, and has dedicated her last summer before college to interning with the Coalition. 

Emma is a bright light, a warm conversation, and someone who we know will share the spirit of recovery and support to all those who cross her path. We are so happy to award this scholarship to Emma Kucich. University of Massachusetts Amherst is so lucky to have you!
