Feb 9 2008 marked the start of the Alex LeVasseur Memorial Scholarship Program dedicated to motivating young adults in life through involved after school activities. I created this program for Jeff's family in memory of their son Alex who passed away last year in an accident. We have 3 kids signed up and are targeting 12 this year for the program. We hope that we can grow this thing each year and get more and more kids involved. This program is targeting young adult skaters and provides them with mentors, grade and behavior goals and free skating and gear incentives for a semester. It has been great working on this and i have considered starting my own foundation to help kids get motivated through other activities...then i could facilitate the programs using other 'funds and foundations' money. We'll see, too many ideas and not enough hours in the day.
Looks like our kid Mama could use some motivation!
