What a wonderful event this evening. We were able to give three levels of scholarships to 16 deserving young people this afternoon. Many set personal bests and even a couple of school records fell this afternoon.
We hope that next year you will all come back, bring us even more athletes and most important of all help us find a few more sponsors so that even more money can be distributed.
We want to especially thank the staff at Grand Rapids Christian High School, our starters, George Kniola, Phil Berridge and Steve Start, and all of our sponsors!
Here are those sponsors:
Metro Health Sports Medicine – platinum sponsor
Chicken Out Catering – gold sponsor
Pet Supplies Plus – gold sponsor
Recognition Inc. – gold sponsor

Seif Chiropractic
