To whom it may concern,
Thank you so much for selecting me as a recipient of the George R. Schutte Memorial Award. I’m beyond honored and incredibly grateful for this recognition and support.
Flag football has been one of the most meaningful parts of my high school experience, and I truly wish I had the opportunity to play it all four years. The sport has shaped me in so many ways, and to be recognized by an organization that gives back to the game means the world to me.
I’ve attached my mailing address and a photo for your website. Thank you again for investing in my future—I’ll carry this honor with pride. *and i want to start a club for women's flag football at UCLA*!!!
With sincere gratitude,
Ashley K. Beard

Also, on behalf of my team last year, I would like to thank the whole officials association for everything they do during the season. Again, thank you so much for selecting me, and to Coach Sovacool and Mrs. Digiulio for the nomination and help with everything.
Thank you,
Nolan Keeping
