The Auburn Chamber of Commerce awarded a total of $18,500 to eleven graduating seniors at the annual Chamber Scholarship Breakfast on May 23 at the Chester P. Tuttle Post in Auburn. Since 1995, the Auburn Chamber has awarded over $360,000 in both student scholarships and teacher mini-grants with proceeds from its Annual School/Business Partnership Golf Tournament held every September.

“We wish our scholarship award recipients the all the best and good health as they continue their post-secondary education come the fall,” said Carrie Cross-Tiraboschi, chair of the Auburn Chamber School and Business Partnership Committee.

The guest speaker of the event was Bill Murphy, a nationally recognized mortgage originator who has closed over one and a half billion dollars in loans and been a top producer for 25 years. He is a marathoner, ultramarathoner, Ironman finisher, and has a second-degree black belt in Krav Maga. He has raised over $500,000 for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation, and actively supports a number of charities, including Fairway Cares, The American Warrior Initiative, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. He is the founder of the nonprofit Thrive Foundation.
