I personally didn't know Jason, but he seemed like a wonderful person.  I just wanted to say a special thanks to his family and his sister for letting me know more about Jason.  I wasn't expecting this scholarship to have such meaning.  Eventho I have never met him, he has still touched my life, by helping me pursue my dreams..."

Grant says:  "My name is Grant and I was the recipient of the Jason Lapierre scholarship this year.  I wanted to personally thank everyone who donated to this fund and let you know it is going to good use.  I had the privilege of meeting Jason a couple times, but cannot say that we knew each other that well.  Mostly I knew Jay's friends in the triathlon world.  With everything they have said about him over the years, it makes me wish I had a chance to get to know him. This scholarship is a wonderful legacy to Jason and I am glad it was put into place.  Student athletes these days face rising costs in training and school, this scholarship is a welcome addition to any students budget.  Thank you for helping me achieve my goals and I hope this scholarship and Jason's memory will continue to help others for many years to come."
