Station to hand out $5,000 in scholarships
BOB ETTINGER Star Beacon
“It’s our way of giving back to the kids. There are so many talented athletes that are really good students.”
Choosing the scholarship winners was not an easy task. There were more than 45 applicants from the county schools.
“We always wish there was more money to give,” Pete said. “The way we do it, the applicants have to be nominated by someone in the school district, not their parents. They have to have at least a 3.0 grade-point average and they have to be a letterwinner. It’s really been difficult to pick the winners.”
Pete hasn’t been alone in the process to put the event together. He’s had some help.
“Dana has really been a big help,” Pete said. “He’ll help with interviews and he’s helped in the selection process. He oversees the fundraising. He’s been great.
“I’m proud of how far the station has come in such a short time.”
Pete also wants to make sure Los Compadres knows they were an important part in this year’s event.
“I want to thank the people at Los Compadres for letting us host this event at their establishment,” Pete said. “We hope to have our listeners come out and support Los Compadres and all the student-athletes we’ll be recognizing. It’s also a great chance to meet to good guys in Denny Allan and Mark Debevc.”
