Leon Friends of Music Fund Raisers
The combination of food and music seems to do well for us, and our parents are planning chili in the fall and in the spring a gourmet dessert/music evening. These events were a culinary, financial, and musical success during the past school year. At the Chili Night, we ask parents to bring a pot of their favorite chili and copies of the recipe. For $10 guests enjoy as many kinds of chili as they can handle, gather new recipes, and enjoy our choirs in concert. In the spring for $10 expect a dessert extravaganza and lots of great music!!
Pullen Scholarship Fund
The Dale Pullen Memorial Golf Tournament was established by the Pullen family to honor the memory of their son and raise money for college scholarships to Leon music students. The first STAR Award of $500 was given in 2000. The fund has grown to the current level of $5000 in scholarships annually! A $2000 STAR Award and between 5-7 $500 Pullen Scholarships are now given each year to outstanding Leon Choral students.
Even though the Golf Tournament does not still exist, the Leon Chorus students will forever benefit each year from these scholarships, as the endowment will perpetually support the presentation of these scholarships.
