CNN TV show host Lou Dobbs, Al Cecere & Challenger at Horatio Alger Awards – Constitution Hall, Washington DC
The Bald Eagle Challenger and AEF President Al Cecere were guests at the 2009 Horatio Alger Awards Ceremony held at Constitution Hall in Washington DC on April 3, 2009. As usual, Challenger made a great impression as he soared over the delighted crowd of 1000+ who were on hand to celebrate the induction of the 2009 recipients of the Horatio Alger Award. For several years now, Challenger and the AEF staff have participated in this event. This year, he flew as Sandi Patti sang God Bless America.
The Mission of the Horatio Alger Association:
- To induct as lifetime Members of the Association contemporary role models whose experiences exemplify that opportunities for a successful life are available to all individuals who are dedicated to the principles of integrity, hard work, perseverance and compassion for others.
- To provide scholarship assistance to deserving young people who have demonstrated integrity and determination in overcoming adversity, academic potential, and the personal aspiration to make a unique contribution to society.
- To mentor scholarship recipients and educate all youth about the limitless possibilities that are available through the American free enterprise system, while underscoring the importance of service to others.
