This scholarship fund was established by David “Dave” Bourassa’s family to honor his memory and impact on the many people he knew and loved with his kind and fun-loving spirit. Dave was a master electrician for over 35 years. He was known for his infectious smile and strong work ethic, all while admirably battling schizoaffective disorder for many, many years. He was brave, kind, patient, and gentle. His family has started a movement to "Be Like Dave." Dave was one of the kindest people you could meet. He loved his family and desserts, especially cookies, and that was pretty much Dave. If everyone could be a little more like Dave, the world would be a whole lot kinder. More kindness and more cookies. Scholarships will be awarded annually to residents of Bristol, CT who are graduating seniors or currently enrolled students pursuing post-secondary education or career training, with a preference for students looking to pursue an education and/or career in the mental health field.
