My firm, Davis Law Group, recently held the annual Davis Law Group Scholar Athlete of the Year Award banquet at the Columbia Tower Club in Seattle, Washington.
There were a total of 30 weekly Scholar Athletes chosen during the 2009-10 school year. The banquet was held to honor each athlete and their families, and to choose the male and female Scholar Athlete of the Year winners.
If the number and quality of comments we received from parents, coaches, and the scholar athletes was any guide, then the banquet was a resounding success. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of the event, as well as the speakers involved.
Bill Wixey, anchorman for Q13 Fox News attended the event. He gave a very inspirational speech and asked the scholar athletes to find what they love to do and stay with it.
Seattle Seahawk Kelly Jennings also attended. Mr. Jennings gave a very moving and powerful speech. He recounted how he continually worked to realize his dream of obtaining a college education (he ultimately received two college degrees) and to make the pros. Mr. Jennings urged the scholar athletes to keep working hard, even in the face of setbacks, which will undoubtedly arise. He ended his talk with a very moving and powerful poem that has helped guide him and provide inspiration in his own life.
The event ended with the announcement of the winners for the Scholar Athlete of the Year. This year’s winners were Hunter Colegrove of Bonney Lake High School and Alexis Court of Liberty High School. Each of them were more than worthy of receiving this award, which included a $1,000 scholarship each to the college of their choice.
To all of the scholar athletes, congratulations on a fabulous year. Each of you were picked to recognize your accomplishments and leadership. All of you deserve it.
And thanks also goes to the Davis Law Group staff who helped with the planning and logistics of the banquet. All of you did a fabulous job. Congrats!
