WELCOME to the "OFFICIAL" GENE PITNEY COMMEMORATIVE SITE for Vernon, CT and the only site that has the PITNEY family's permission to administer a Rockville & Somers High School Scholarship Fund in Gene's Name.



OUR MISSION STATEMENT
This organization has been formed as a charitable corporation, chartered in the State of Connecticut, for the following purposes: To develop, plan, coordinate and implement efforts for the Town of Vernon to honor GENE FRANCIS PITNEY (1940-2006) for his successful career in the music industry, his origin (Rockville) and his legacy related to Vernon, and especially downtown Rockville, where he grew up and attended schools. Additionally, this organization will conduct necessary fund raising efforts to properly fund and administer an annual scholarship program, in Gene Pitney’s name, for Rockville and Somers High Schools graduating seniors who will be going on to formal (college) education in the field of music. To promote and educate local and out of town residents about the history of locally bred musicians, like Gene Pitney, a museum is to be planned, developed and constructed with support of private and other grants dedicated to development of historical initiatives.
