In the name of the late Keith McHeffey, there are now two more grads of his Alma Mater added to the KDM Foundation’s scholarship list.

Since McHeffey, a Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) graduate known as an avid athlete and adventurer, was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the foundation created in his name has awarded 58 scholarships. That tally includes the two latest recipients: RFH’s Cami Beattie and Caden Winters, foundation board member and creator Gregg Kennedy announced on social media.

Beattie and Winters were awarded the $2,500 scholarships at the recent RFH Senior Awards Night, he added.

“We are grateful to all of those who have supported us and made these awards and many other projects possible.”
