In 2010, the LaRocca Family stepped forward to give back to the club industry by making a generous contribution to The Club Foundation. The LaRocca Family Executive Scholarship was created to both honor their commitment to professional development and to recognize their continued support of The Foundation.

“The LaRocca Family have long been supporters of the club management profession,” said CMAA President and CEO Jeff Morgan, FASAE, CAE. “Their generosity in supporting The Club Foundation with a dual component scholarship demonstrates the importance of mentorship within this industry and provides professional growth opportunities for both recipients.”
