2nd Annual Chris Rurak Scholarship Award Event Scheduled For Aug. 20

GREENWICH, CT — The second annual Chris Rurak scholarship fundraiser is scheduled for Aug. 20 at the Old Greenwich Social Club. The event will run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., and feature an auction, live music and a hockey shootout.

Additionally, Greenwich High School student-athletes Danny Windels and Kevin Keaveney will receive scholarships from the Chris Rurak Foundation.

"They were selected to receive this year’s scholarship because they embody so many of the characteristics that Coach Rurak valued. Specifically, his willingness to preserve and put in the work even when it isn’t easy," the foundation's website says.

The scholarship fund was established in 2021 for Greenwich High School student-athletes who makes valuable contributions to their school, their team, teammates and the town.

The foundation was created after GHS varsity boys hockey coach Chris Rurak suddenly died in July 2020.

Rurak coached at every level in youth hockey at the Greenwich Skating Club and was the head coach at GHS for four years.
