E Club celebrates 50th Anniversary, Everett sports history

Club welcomed special guests: Paul Perillo and Brandon Conde

  The E Club celebrated its 50th Anniversary Dinner on Saturday evening at Spinelli’s. The E Club honors Everett’s history in sports by awarding scholarships to student athletes as a foundation for success in whichever paths they choose to pursue after high school.

  This year, The E Club welcomed special guests: Paul Perillo and Brandon Conde. Perillo is a 1986 Everett High School graduate who played football and baseball. His passion for sports inspired an interest in sports journalism and led to a career with the Boston Herald in addition to a variety of opportunities in radio and television.

  Conde is a lifelong Everett resident who graduated in 2012 and was passionate about football from a young age. In High School he had a successful football career, winning multiple “Super Bowls” under Coach John DiBiaso. He continued to play football for Bridgewater State, where he studied biology. In 2019, Brandon experienced a life-altering accident that injured his spinal cord, making him a tetraplegic.

  The E Club will hold their annual meeting on January 11 at Zion Baptist Church and their next dinner in May 2022. All are invited to join.
