In full disclosure, I am being a proud mom today but I also am very proud of Lightwave being in support of the Bonenfant Memorial Scholarship – something I believe in.
My 15-year-old son, Kelly Skelton, has organized a 5K for November 23, 2012 (the day after US Thanksgiving) to run between the towns of Bedford and Billerica Massachusetts in an effort to help raise the last $10,000 needed to make the scholarship a reality.
Kelly has been working to have other high school peers join him on this day – clearly not the easiest task. Regardless of peer participation, rain, shine, (hurricane?), or amazing-cannot-miss-Black-Friday-Jordan-basketball-sneaker-deals, Kelly has promised to be running this Bonenfant Memorial Scholarship 5K Fundraiser at 10am on November 23, 2012.
Lightwave will be posting a blog about the 5K activities as well as photos and updates on the support.
Thanksgiving happens to be one of my most favorite holidays. It is the holiday that aligns with our family’s values and daily traditions, it is the birthday of one of my daughters, and now it is connected to the OSA and Paul Anthony Bonenfant Memorial Scholarship. Throw in the pumpkin muffins I will be having that morning and it is “everything” this year.
We hope others in our great industry will choose to be connected on such an important event at this wonderful time of the year and support in any way possible.
