Description

Let's celebrate Peter Gray's birthday! Peter served our community in many ways. He was an educator who served on the Amesbury Educational Foundation, Amesbury School Committee and laid the groundwork for the banking program at Amesbury High School. He coached minor league baseball, was a charter member of AYRBall and was an active Rotarian. In 1994 the Amesbury Chamber of Commerce recognized Peter as Citizen of the Year.

Friends and colleagues characterized Pete as a loyal friend and mentor. He cared deeply for his family and the “community family”.

The Amesbury Chamber of Commerce awards annually the Peter Gray Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $500 to an AHS graduate who has been actively involved in community service and is pursuing further education in business. Our goal is to increase that scholarship to $1,000 annually with your support!

As business owners you know that every dollar and every hour makes a difference. Join us on Giving Day, in Pete’s honor, by making a contribution of any amount, at any hour, to the Peter Gray Memorial Scholarship. As a business community this is our way to mentor Amesbury graduates who make great citizens.
