    Hi PGG,

    Just wanted to thank you again for selecting me as the first recipient of your scholarship. I wanted to give you an update on my first semester and football season at Baldwin Wallace University. Academically, I finished my first semester with a 4.0 GPA and should probably make the Dean’s List. On the field, I was able to make an impact right away and see meaningful playing time in our offense that finished 12th in the country (DIII) in rushing and first in the Ohio Athletic Conference in rushing yards per game (231.9). I finished the year with 77 carries for 511 yards and 6 touchdowns (6.6 yards per carry). I also was selected as our Offensive Player of the Game twice this year in our wins against Capital and Marietta. We finished at an 8-2 record and came up just shy of making the DIII playoffs. Your guys’ contribution to my success on and off the field in college has not gone unnoticed, and I thank you for that. Just wanted to let you guys know I’m doing well and that your gift hasn’t been taken for granted and hasn’t gone to waste!

    Thanks again, Happy Holidays!
