We are thrilled to announce the annual Bright Futures Fundraising Breakfast guest speaker for 2022 is Sam Rizzo, Class of 2018.
Sam will share his inspirational and motivational personal journey from being born with the congenital condition Spina Bifida, to representing Australia as a world-class T54 Para-athlete. Sam has competed at the local, state, national and international levels winning Gold at the World Para-Athletics Junior Championships. He has also proudly represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games and the Paralympics in Tokyo. Most recently Sam won a 10K event with an impressive time in Queensland. While Sam was unlucky not to be named in the 2022 Australian Commonwealth Games team he is redoubling his efforts over the next four years with the hope of joining Australia’s world championship, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games squads.
Please join us for the Bright Futures Breakfast on Wednesday 5 October – 7am to 8.50am at the Damascus College Events Centre.
This fundraising event is held to support the Damascus College Bright Futures Scholarship which is awarded annually to one incoming Year 7 student for 50% tuition relief and is awarded for the duration of a student's enrolment at Damascus College.
Attendees will hear from Sam, and enjoy a sumptuous buffet breakfast and barista coffee, with all proceeds going to the Bright Futures Scholarship.
The Scholarship
The Bright Futures Scholarship was established in 2018 and is for the purpose of supporting students and families who are experiencing financial or personal disadvantage, and who demonstrate a strong commitment to social justice activities and contribute to their local community
This scholarship is awarded annually to one incoming Year 7 student for 50% tuition relief, and is awarded for the duration of a student's enrolment at Damascus College (maximum of 6 years). More information on the scholarship can be found here.
To raise funds to extend the reach of the Bright Futures Scholarship to multiple students each year, Damascus College engages in numerous Bright Futures events to raise funds for this worthy cause.
