Annual Scholarship Award Program
Joe Pepe Jr. is proud to present awards to the recipients of the 2026 Pepe Auto Group 12th Annual Scholarship Award Program! This program is designed to provide financial assistance to Pepe Auto Group employees to help support their children’s higher education.
This year’s winners are Owen Heffron and Christa Gasparino. Their parents, Tom Burns, an employee at Mercedes-Benz of New Rochelle, and Julie Gasparino, an employee of the Pepe Auto Group, have both been dedicated members of the Pepe Auto Group for many years. Owen will be attending Syracuse University, where he will study Journalism with a focus on Broadcast and Digital Journalism, while Christa will be attending Marist University, where she will study Business Administration and pursue her interest in Interior Design. Both students have distinguished themselves through their outstanding academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and commitment to community service.
“Our goal has always been to support our employees and their families. We enjoy being part of the lifelong journey of helping these students succeed. They have bright futures ahead of them and offering academic scholarship funds gives these students a fresh start to the next chapter of their lives.” – Joe Pepe
Congratulations Owen and Christa!
