C To All Scholar Athletes Visit one of our 69 locations throughout New York State –1– CENTRAL NEW YORK CHAPTER The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, Inc. essage from the ecutive oard elcome to the Central New York Chapter of The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame’s Tenth Annual Scholar-Athlete Awards Banquet Tonight we will honor 66 high school and collegiate scholar-athletes who represent the Chapter’s fundamental creed of athletics in concert with academic achievement and civic leadership. We will also honor those in our community who have provided our youth with the opportunity, through the sport of football, to develop into our future leaders. We are proud of our honorees as they join an elite group before them that through football have developed skills that have improved society. It is hard to believe that ten years have passed since the inaugural Scholar-Athlete Awards Dinner at Drumlins Country Club. With the addition of tonight’s class, we have had the privilege to honor 554 scholar-athletes and have awarded 347 scholarships totaling over $120,000. “Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days, will bear the fruits of victory” said General Douglas MacArthur (one of the founders of the National Football Foundation). MacArthur’s perspective is today still relevant. Our youth embark into a world that will have many challenges. MacArthur’s quote highlights that the sport of football is uniquely positioned to teach teamwork, discipline, dedication, and sacrifice; all useful leadership characteristics. The Central New York Chapter is dedicated to supporting the game, those that teach it, and those that play it as a development tool for our youth. During the last year, the Chapter has supported our Annual College Recruiting Fair at Henninger High School, The Junior Combine at Baldwinsville High School, The Kickoff Classic at Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome, The Arcaro All-Star game at Cicero North Syracuse High School and Sauquoit Valley, and The Play It Smart Educational Program at Fowler High School. Special thanks to all of our partners and volunteers that make these programs successful. Tonight’s celebration honors more than these wonderful scholar-athletes. It also honors those that have taught them, the game itself, and most importantly it honors their parents. To you we commend you on a job well done.

During the last 50 years, Gene Corrigan’s fingerprints are all over intercollegiate sports as an athlete, a coach, conference commissioner, NCAA president and finally as a knowledgeable consultant. Wherever Corrigan has been, success in athletics has followed; and always the programs have earned a reputation for having the utmost in integrity. www.cnyfootballfoundation.com – 16 – Congratulations to all The Scholar Athletes – 49 – – 48 – Congratulations for 10 Years of Excellence!

As stated most clearly by former President - and Foundation Gold Medal recipient - Dwight D. Eisenhower: “In football, in business, in the trades and the professions, the normal urge to excel provides one of the most hopeful assurances that our kind of society will continue to advance and prosper. Morale…the will to win, the fighting heart…are the honored hallmarks of the football coach and player.This morale, this will, this heart…we need not only in athletic teams as individual, but collectively.” To preserve and encourage these values in our nation’s youth, The National Football Foundation helps to bring together all of the organized groups that play, coach, administer, support and report amateur football. THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION ARE DEDICATED TO: l.Preserving the spirit of football,its character-building attributes and its vital role in the education process. 2. Fostering the use of these attributes and its vital role in the development of scholarship and leadership. 3. Recognizing and honoring accomplishments both on and off the playing field. 4. Providing permanence to the history of these accomplishments. Today, The National Football Foundation - with more than 19,000 members in over 100 Chapters throughout the United States - conducts two major programs that make significant contributions in achieving these lofty goals. I. THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARDS The Foundation’s Scholar-Athlete Awards are divided into two categories, local and national. LOCAL SCHOLAR-ATHLETES - HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL Educators, coaches and community leaders agree that education and development values must be taught at this level.The National Football Foundation’s Chapters provide the local community with positive role models by recognizing those individuals in their community who best exemplify all three qualifications: 1. Outstanding academic application and performance 2. Exemplary school leadership and citizenship 3. Superior football performance NATIONAL SCHOLAR-ATHLETES - COLLEGE LEVEL Although the basic requirements remain the same - Scholarship,Citizenship and Football Performance - the competition is clearly more intense.The National Football Foundation’s National Scholar-Athletes are truly representative of our nation’s best and brightest.To date,The National Football Foundation has awarded ScholarAthlete scholarships totaling nearly seven million dollars. – 18 – CONGRATULATIONS WRWKLV\HDU·VDZDUGUHFLSLHQWV DQGWR\HDUVRIH[FHOOHQFH From your friends at 1HZ<RUN6WDWH·V/DUJHVW)XUQLWXUH6KRZURRP The Dunk & Bright Furniture Showroom offers exquisite furniture for every style and budget.

In addition,The Annual Kickoff Classic at the Meadowlands in New Jersey provides a major source of revenue to support The Foundation and its scholarship programs. Other activities sponsored by The National Football Foundation include the Annual Awards Dinner, the awarding of the MacArthur Bowl and Championship trophies to all Divisions of College Football. The National Football Foundation seeks to not only honor the great players and coaches in the history of College Football but to also inspire our nation’s youth to compete on the athletic fields and in the classroom and to assume leadership roles on the high school and college campuses today. The National Football Foundation honors men who honor the game, men who have revealed a love of country, concern for their fellow man and the nation’s youth — men who get involved in community affairs, men who care about today’s problems and tomorrow’s leadership. In a broad but very significant sense The National Football Foundation is a nationwide educational organization. It enlists the ex-player, educator, athletic director and coach, the football official, writer and commentator, and the football fan in the service of the American youth. It strives to promote football as an integral and wholesome part of our educational processes; to inculcate the ideals of sportsmanship into the mind of the spectator as well as that of the player; and to encourage the most beneficial direction and playing of the game at schools and colleges throughout the country. To achieve its aims, the Foundation seeks to establish the true concept of football and to gain recognition of the significant role it plays in the preservation and advancement of our way of life. It endeavors to attain these goals by disseminating relevant information through its own publications and the other voices that reach the public, by granting awards and fellowships for postgraduate study to college seniors who have been outstanding in football ability, academic achievement and campus leadership during their undergraduate years, and by honoring in the College Football Hall of Fame those college players and coaches whose deeds and lives during and after their playing and coaching days have been exemplary and inspiring. Throughout the country, over 19,000 members of The Foundation, working through their local chapters honor and award to high school scholar-athletes fellowships for their college undergraduate studies. The Foundation, in accomplishing its purposes, serves not only the youth but the nation as well. High school and college football, conducted and played in the proper way, teaches lessons which, together with those taught in the classroom, help mold young Americans sound in heart, mind and body. www.cnyfootballfoundation.com – 19 – CENTRAL NEW YORK CHAPTER The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, Inc. cholar thlete ward inners – COLLEGE – COLGATE GREG SULLIVAN ST.
