Word.
"I wake up, work harder, laugh deeper and
dream bigger than the day before.
That's what success is."
Logan Dunne
Nauset Regional High School, Class of 2012
Logan passed away on January 4, 2013;
his was a valiant journey which he made with no complaint.
In his 20 years, Logan managed to leave the world an enduring legacy
full of the same love, laughter and endless kindness
which marked each day of his life.
This scholarship was created in the winter of 2013,
just weeks after Logan's passing,
by John Simonian of Beanstock Coffee Roasters.
Since 2013, we have been honored and privileged
to support the dreams of outstanding local teenagers,
who carry some of Logan's spark into their futures.
Their challenges have ranged from life-threatening or debilitating medical conditions and diseases
to emotional and physical abuse,
extreme familial or financial hardships
to isolating social realities.
