The Anthony Telesca Foundation, granted 2 college scholarships in Florida for the second year. The recipients were Merissa Richmond and Brett Foley both from East Lake High School. Also, during the scholarship ceremony, Angelo Telesca, announced the "Good Driver Program".


Working with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, teenage drivers are awarded AMC Movie Cards and BlockBuster Video cards for driving safe. Deputy Chuck Skipper assisted the Foundation by following a high school student driving from school to home. If the student drove safely home; once at home the Deputy Skipper flashes the unmarked car lights and proceeds to provide a little shock therapy". When the student asked the Deputy what did I do, the Deputy says "you drove safe" and presents the awards on behalf of our Foundation. This is the only program, we are aware of, that rewards good driving.
