The Scarsdale Bowl is community-wide event held each April to honor an outstanding volunteer in the Scarsdale Community. The Bowl is administered by the Scarsdale Foundation which operates as a not-for-profit community foundation to promote  civic welfare.  The Foundation provides need-based financial aid to Scarsdale High School graduates who are entering their sophomore, junior and senior years in college and to children attending the Recreation Department summer day camp. It also administers a number of special purpose funds, and makes grants for various community needs which have included the Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the Scarsdale/Edgemont Family Counseling Service.
