You are just the kind of person the Sullivan Ballou Fund seeks to recognize and affirm. We have heard of your many contributions to the DeLaSalle community. Since transferring to the school in 10th grade, you have earned the respect of students and faculty alike by your rare talent of seeing the needs of others and then doing something about it. You are known for your dependability and follow-through and for your creative projects.
As with Sullivan Ballou, your actions flow straight from your heart, with no thought of personal reward or self interest. We are honored to learn that a young person has already developed these heart qualities. We are delighted to be able to honor you as an example for all of us and to help you define yourself as a person with special abilities and purpose. We look forward to hearing where your path of heartfelt service to others leads you.
This award is yours to use as you choose. We ask only that you let us know in six months how you used this award and how it affected you. Congratulations!
Elissa and Bruce Peterson, Founding Members
