Today we conclude our series about the stories behind the names you will hear at the banquet with the background on the Don “Pete” Petersen Award. Much is already known about Donut let me add this comment. He was a kind and generous man who decided early in his life that he wanted to make a difference in the lives of the children in his neighbourhood so he opened the doors to St. Pat’s and made that a reality. As important as that action was, he built a more lasting legacy by teaching those he recruited to help him what was important to the children playing, and the families involved – providing a safe and affordable place where families can come together and learn the joy of being on a team.
