Representatives from the Joseph Alexander Foundation were on hand at the Philadelphia Leadership Summit banquet to present Brother Peter D’Amore (Florida, Alpha Eta ’10) with the first annual Scott Mackler, MD, PhD, Medical School Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship was endowed in 2015 with a gift of $100,000 from the Joseph Alexander Foundation in memory of Brother Scott A. Mackler (Pennsylvania, Beta Pi ’77).
