“My father and company founder, Joseph P. Mascaro Sr., was a man of limited education, but of great vision, and he instilled in his six children the importance of a good education,” Pat Mascaro, president of J.P.

Mascaro recalled that he and his four brothers benefited firsthand from such educational assistance many years ago when they were students at Visitation BVM, in Trooper.

“I will be forever grateful to those who helped our family, and I am thankful that the Mascaro company is in a position today to do the same for others,” Mascaro said.

“It is our customers and employees who are responsible for the success of our company and who make it possible for our company to participate in and support worthwhile community programs, including educational development programs.”
