Vincent "Cap" Mona (far right), a retired businessman known for his philanthropy, recently donated $125,000 to fund the new Cap Mona Family Scholarship Series. The scholarship, which will be administered by the Catholic Business Association of Charles County, provides rising eighth-graders in Charles County Catholic elementary schools who will attend an Archdiocese of Washington Catholic high school with five-year scholarships of $1,000 per year for grades eight through 12. The first 12 winners of the Cap Mona Family Scholarship Series were honored June 23. The winners attend Archbishop Neale School in La Plata, St. Mary’s School in Bryantown and St. Peter’s School in Waldorf.
