In June 1983, The Ray Foley Memorial Youth Education Foundation was created in memory of the late National Candy Wholesalers Association executive vice president, Ray Foley. Each year through the Distributors Education Foundation, AWMA awards two $5,000 Ray Foley Scholarships to deserving candidates who are involved in, or who plan to join, the convenience products wholesale distribution industry. These candidates must either work for an AWMA-wholesaler member company or should be the spouse, sons or daughters of an employee of an AWMA-wholesaler member company.
