AUDIO: It’s always very fulfilling; but I’m just overwhelmed every year on this day. And every year it just gets better and better, and the gym’s full. We have record breaking numbers every year, and I hope to continue that.
This year’s numbers were 931 scholarships awarded, with a total value of over $1.138 million.
