About the Justin T. Dimino Memorial Scholarship Fund: The Fund is a component charitable fund of the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan.

Justin Dimino was in his junior year at Monroe-Woodbury High School at the time of his passing. According to Justin’s family, he was a boy who lit up the room with his smile and personality.
