TAYLORSVILLE, Utah -- Last week, the David B. Pedersen Foundation awarded scholarship money to 23 Taylorsville High School students.

Since the David B. Pedersen Foundation began three years ago, it has awarded over $50,000 in scholarships. Former Del Sol CEO, Bob Pedersen, and wife, Catherine, including current company President Jeff Pedersen and his seven siblings, created and organized this foundation in honor of their youngest son and brother, David, who passed away in September 2005.

The foundation awards scholarships to outstanding students who have "bounced back" from life's obstacles and shown resilience and achievement in scholastics and being drug free.

The David B. Pedersen Foundation works closely with Utah's Granite Education Foundation and several other amazing teachers throughout Utah, including Taylorsville teacher, Leigh VandenAkker, who spearheads an incredible growth and learning program at Taylorsville High School, from which several applying students are selected for scholarships.

This year's Taylorsville students were awarded with $100, $250, $800 and $1,500 scholarships. Each of them bounced back, removed lables and showed amazing courage in meeting the scholarship criteria. As Jeff Pedersen said in the award ceremony, "it was extremely difficult to select the winners, as there were so many great applicants." Jeff and his parents, who currently serve as LDS missionaries and directors at the Oakland, California Temple Visitors Center, read all the essays from the students. Jeff interviewed all the scholarship applicants to determine the winners as well.

Over the years and recently, the David B. Pedersen Foundation has received amazing support from the Del Sol team. All the foundation's funds have come from private donations. Thanks to each of you for your great love and support.
