This program has truly been a labor of love for Boyd, Carrera, myself and all of the friends who have so diligently served on the Board and Selection committees. We all realized quickly that when you devote your time and efforts to helping others, you truly benefit from the satisfaction of enhancing another life. It is a special privilege to be a part of this program and have an impact on the lives of the children of Jefferies employees.

Sharon Jefferies, Director
