The Scarsdale Bowl is awarded annually each spring to a Scarsdale resident in recognition of his or her outstanding voluntary public service to the community. The Executive Secretary/Treasurer of the Scarsdale Bowl Committee is Robert Jeremiah.

Mr. Mark grew up in Scarsdale and attended the Griffin Avenue School, Quaker Ridge School and graduated from Scarsdale High School in 1965, from Dartmouth College in 1969 and Columbia Law School in 1974.

During that time he served as Chair of the Law Committee, Chair of the Land Use Committee, as Fire Commissioner, Police Commissioner and Deputy Mayor. He was also liaison to the Greenacres Neighborhood Association and the West Quaker Ridge Neighborhood Association.

He and his wife BK Munguía, an active civic volunteer in the Village and a former President of the Scarsdale Forum, have been residents of Scarsdale for more than 20 years. They have two adult children, Ramona and Sandor, who grew up in Scarsdale.

The Scarsdale Bowl is administered by the Scarsdale Foundation which operates as a not-for-profit community foundation to promote the civic welfare. It does so by supporting institutions and individuals in a manner that encourages educational and human development in the community. 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.
