Suffolk Construction’s John Fish and his wife, Cynthia, have given a $10 million gift to Tabor Academy, the single largest pledge of support in the Marion private high school’s history.

The company’s chairman and CEO, a 1978 graduate of Tabor, said he built “lasting relationships with teachers and coaches who changed my life forever. Through Tabor academics and athletics, I learned the value of collaboration, leadership, courage and caring — core values that are important to me today.”

The gift will support recruitment,  retention, and professional development of faculty and staff; athletic programs, and student financial aid.

“We are deeply grateful to John and Cyndy for this inspirational gift that will allow us to change lives in profound and transformational ways at Tabor,” Head of School Tony Jaccaci said. “John and Cyndy live the values of our school, and this generosity is a testament to their commitment to connect, serve and lead. A gift of this magnitude will make a deep difference in providing the best education possible for our students and I know will motivate others to support as well.”

Headquartered in Boston, Suffolk is a leading national contractor that focuses on innovation and technology in its design-build process across numerous construction sectors.

In the wake of the explosion at the PharmaCann cannabis facility in Stevensville, Maryland, MassCOSH is calling on state and city officials to “officials to take urgent action to implement safeguards and enforce stronger regulations to protect cannabis industry workers.”

“The cannabis industry continues to grow rapidly, but worker safety must never be an afterthought," said Tatiana Sofia Begault, Executive Director of MassCOSH.

Two workers were injured in an explosion and fire at a cannabis extraction facility on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in late January. Sprinklers contained the damage and one person’s injuries were severe but not life-threatening, the AP reported.
