海角社区

At the Annual Distinguished Citizens Dinner in 2003, the Ramapo Foundation was pleased to recognize executives of TD Bank (then Commerce Bank) and the Bank’s many years of service to the community and to Ramapo. That night the Bank announced the creation of this endowed scholarship, named in honor of then-president of Commerce Bank/North James R. Napolitano. James Napolitano held the position as executive vice president of TD Bank for 33 years. Mr. Napolitano passed away in April 2020.

Mr. Napolitano was an advisor and strong supporter of both Ramapo and the Ramapo Foundation as well as other philanthropic efforts. He served as the chair of the Hackensack UMC and was a trustee of the HUMC Foundation; he was also a trustee of Bergen Community College and served on the board of the BCC Foundation and as well as of the Bergen County Economic Development Corporation. This scholarship honors Mr. Napolitano’s involvement at 海角社区 and BCC by recognizing BCC transfers with financial need who have demonstrated strong academic performance.
