A Message from a BYS Recipient
"Thanks to the Bright Star Youth Services (BSYS) group for scholarship and support they have shown me since I was a senior at Friendly High School in Fort Washington, MD. They were there when I received my scholarship to Stanford University my freshman year. Coach Ron Winbush has such great passion for basketball. Though I played football, I was able to excel because of their support by way of the scholarship. And with their focus on the total student-athlete, I know the kids will benefit both athletically and academically. " — Alameen Murphy, 2014 BSYS scholarship recipient at Stanford University |
