When Ben Fischl received the Brian LaViolette
Scholarship in 2008 he stated, "As if I wasn't excited enough to go into the
Academy, now I have a great legacy to carry with me," referring to Brian
LaViolette and the mission of his foundation.
As with all of our scholarship recipients, he is special to us. Over the last 4 years, we have seen him grow even more passionate and more determined to make a difference.

When we met Ben at the age of 18, we knew he had
great compassion for others and life in general. We see it shine through him
even more as he begins his last year at the Air Force Academy.
Last year, we received an email from Ben stating that his loans have been
paid off and he knew that this scholarship was meant for school expenses. After
figuring out what other school costs he'd have this next year, he knew he'd have
some of the funds left over. He donated $1,000 back to Brian's Foundation.
Compassion.

Ben joined us at 'What's Right
with America' on 11.11.11 and inspired the audience.

"I think it is so
important to do for others exactly what has been done for you. I want future
generations to be blessed by Brian's scholarship in the same way that I
was," Ben stated on why he
decided to give back to the Foundation.
