Overview
John Marinucci’s fingerprint and influence can be seen across the CWB Welding Foundation’s and CWB Group’s evolutions as he helped shape our success as a volunteer, leader, industry luminary and donor. After all, he’s been a pillar within our organization for over 20 years. Even though he has stepped down as Chair of the CWBWF Board, he has indelibly left his mark and will continue to impact the welding and joining industry and our related businesses well into the future.
To further cement his legacy and honour his contributions, the CWB Welding Foundation and Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario, we have proudly established an endowed award, the CWB John Marinucci Student Bursary. This bursary reflects John’s commitment to Canada’s economic competitiveness through the promotion and support of education in welding and joining, a critical component of Canada’s industrial fabric and economic success across traditional and new industry sectors. Each year, one student from the Fabrication Techniques program with a GPA of 75 per cent or greater and demonstrates financial need will be awarded $1,250 toward their post-secondary education at Mohawk College.
Established in 2022, this endowed award started with a gift of $25,000 from the CWB Welding Foundation to Mohawk College. This gift qualified for the college’s matching program, ensuring it will be available to students for years to come.
