The Nicholas P. Pipino
Memorial Foundation consists of family, friends, and volunteers seeking to stop
senseless acts of violence and also preserve their fond memories of Nick
Pipino, a Drexel University student who was fatally stabbed outside Cavanaugh's
Restaurant & Bar on December 19, 1992, where he worked part-time as a
bartender while pursuing an undergraduate degree at Drexel.In keeping with Nick's love
for the outdoors, the foundation has organized the University City 5K Run since
1993 as a way to make something positive result of Nick's untimely death. The
foundation has also partnered with Drexel University creating scholarship
opportunities which enable young individuals to obtain an education without the
demands of part-time employment and allows the student to focus on his or her
education. The relationship between Drexel and the Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial
Foundation provides financial assistance and a quality education to enthusiastic
students who are eager to meet the realistic demands of the professional world.
Scholarship winners will be announced immediately
following the 23rd Annual University City 5K Run on Saturday, April 18, 2015.
