"Their passion and dedication to making a difference in their community is truly admirable. Additionally, throughout the process of getting this deal signed, I received invaluable support and advice from my Peak Team and the SLU athletics staff, particularly Athletic Director Jay Artigues, Vice President Sam Domiano, and Associate Athletic Director Lindsey Owens, without whose approval and structure none of this would have been possible."
