"The Journey is the Reward" Scholarship
Brian believed in hard work; he wrote “the more I want to get something done, the less I call it work!” His aunt, Sue LeTourneau, feels the same way, and in 2004 started two annual scholarships that she funds through various fundraisers, including “Brats for Brian,” a tailgate party at Green Bay Packers games. These scholarships touch the lives of students from Oconto and Suring High School.
