Plesser’s Appliance Scholarship In Memory of Diane & Kevin Froehlich
Plesser’s has remained a family-owned business, championing the values of small business, entrepreneurship, and community support even as large chains have come to dominate the landscape.
In gratitude for the support we’ve received over the years, we established an annual scholarship to inspire future generations of entrepreneurs and help keep small businesses thriving.
This scholarship honors the memory of Diane Froehlich—a beloved, longtime employee and Babylon resident—and her husband, Kevin, both proud Babylon High School graduates and dedicated members of our Plesser’s family.
Each year, we award the Plesser’s Appliance Scholarship to a graduating Babylon High School student pursuing business studies who demonstrates a strong commitment to community service. We are grateful to all our applicants and proud of our recipients who carry on this legacy.
