� �essage from the �ecutive �oard

Welcome to the Central New York Chapter’s 17th Annual Scholar-Athlete Awards Dinner. Tonight we will pay tribute to 81high school and college scholar-athletes who epitomize everything that is right about high school and college football. Inaddition, we will honor several individuals for their contributions to the great sport of football and our country.

We would like to congratulate tonight’s honorees and their families. We take great pride in highlighting your accomplishmentsboth on and off the football field. By earning a spot on our dais, your story has proven itself worthy of being told to inspireothers to follow in your footsteps.

With the addition of tonight’s class the Central New York Chapter has had the privilege to honor 1001 scholar-athletes andhave awarded scholarships totaling over $441,250.00 in seventeen years.

“Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that, upon other fields, on other days, will bearthe 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’squote 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 who teach it, play, and officiate it as a developmenttool for our youth.

Tonight’s celebration honors more than these wonderful scholar-athletes. It also honors those that have taught them, thegame itself, and most importantly it honors their parents. To you we commend you on a job well done.

Congratulations to all!

competition, the spirit of youth, and the lessons of life in sport. It is awarded annually to the highest ranking high school senior.

2 - $500.00 VALLEY GRANT SCHOLARSHIPS

Wayne Valley, the original owner of the Oakland Raiders, became involved with The National Football Foundation through the Northern

California Chapter and its president, Bob Keropian. Eventually, Wayne’s enthusiasm for the mission of the NFF led him to become a member

of The Foundation’s Board of Directors. When Wayne passed away in 1986, his wife, Gladys, continued the efforts of the family’s foundation

and strengthened her involvement with the Northern Chapter. In 1994, Gladys played a key role in forging a grant from the Wayne and Gladys

Valley Foundation. The grant provided the NFF with $50,000 a year for five years for its chapter scholar-athletes program. Although Gladys

passed away in 1998, the Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation has continued to support the NFF. In 1999, under the leadership of President

Stephen Chandler, the Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation renewed the chapter scholar-athlete program for five more years, with increased

funding for the chapter scholar-athlete awards. The Central New York Chapter was awarded two $500.00 Scholarships.

He officiated many of the major college football games played during the 1980’s and culminated his career by officiating the Army-Navy

game in the Rose Bowl in 1985. After George left the field, he became an observer and technical advisor for Syracuse University, the Big

East and Conference USA. George owned and operated the Marcoccia-Donnelly Insurance Agency for 27 years. This scholarship will be

�ackground nformationFounded in 1947 by Grantland Rice,General Douglas MacArthur and Colonel Earl (Red) Blaik,The National

Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame is dedicated to mobilizing the constructive forces of amateurfootball, at all levels, for the benefit of society as a whole.As stated most clearly by former President - andFoundation Gold Medal recipient - Dwight D. Eisenhower: “In football, in business, in the trades and theprofessions, the normal urge to excel provides one of the most hopeful assurances that our kind of societywill continue to advance and prosper. Morale…the will to win, the fighting heart…are the honored hallmarksof the football coach and player. This morale, this will, this heart…we need not only in athletic teams asindividual, but collectively.” To preserve and encourage these values in our nation’s youth, The NationalFootball Foundation helps to bring together all of the organized groups that play, coach, administer, supportand 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 Chaptersthroughout the United States - conducts two major programs that make significant contributions in achievingthese lofty goals.

I. THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARDSThe Foundation’s Scholar-Athlete Awards are divided into two categories, local and national.

LOCAL SCHOLAR-ATHLETES - HIGH SCHOOL LEVELEducators, 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 rolemodels 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 LEVELAlthough 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 trulyrepresentative of our nation’s best and brightest. To date, The National Football Foundation has awardedScholar-Athlete scholarships totaling nearly seven million dollars.

Since its early beginnings in 1951,The College Football Hall of Fame has grown to become one of theworld’s major sports shrines.Today,more than 810 players and coaches - those whose careers have exemplifiedthe Foundation’s basic creed of Scholarship, Citizenship and Performance - are enshrined at The College

Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia.The temple of the great college football men, honoring those whohave honored the game with their contributions, is the creation and ongoing commitment of The NationalFootball Foundation and College Hall of Fame. In addition,The Annual Kickoff Classic at the Meadowlands inNew 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, theawarding 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 ofCollege Football but to also inspire our nation’s youth to compete on the athletic fields and in the classroomand 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 ofcountry, 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 educationalorganization. It enlists the ex-player, educator, athletic director and coach, the football official, writer andcommentator, and the football fan in the service of the American youth. It strives to promote football as anintegral and wholesome part of our educational processes; to inculcate the ideals of sportsmanship into themind of the spectator as well as that of the player; and to encourage the most beneficial direction and playingof 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 recognitionof the significant role it plays in the preservation and advancement of our way of life. It endeavors to attainthese goals by disseminating relevant information through its own publications and the other voices that reachthe public, by granting awards and fellowships for postgraduate study to college seniors who have beenoutstanding in football ability, academic achievement and campus leadership during their undergraduateyears, and by honoring in the College Football Hall of Fame those college players and coaches whose deedsand 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 chaptershonor 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. Highschool and college football, conducted and played in the proper way, teaches lessons which, together withthose taught in the classroom, help mold young Americans sound in heart, mind and body.
