Jerry Cahill Alumni Award

Jerry Cahill was a board member of Camellot Academy and an ardent supporter of the arts in all of their forms. He first learned about camp through two alumni, Trinda Crow and Kate Lee Leibsle, and was a friend to many alums.

Jerry lost a brief, but courageous, battle with cancer on Jan. 30, 2009. In his honor, we have established an award ($100 check) to be given annually to a Camellot alum to be used in the pursuit of the arts for education, buying supplies or tickets for shows – however the recipient chooses.

To be eligible you must:

Be an alum of Camellot Academy
Use the money to further your artistic education in some way, i.e., tuition, books, sheet music, tickets for performance or membership to gallery, etc.
Write a short (300-500 word) essay about how Camellot enhanced your appreciation for the arts and how you will use the money
Send a letter to Camellot Academy telling us how you used the money, along with a copy of the receipt for your purchase

Essays are due Friday, July 2, 2009. They will be judged by a panel of three: a member of the board of directors, an alum (who will not be submitting an essay) and a member of Jerry’s family. The awardee will be announced before the performance of Cinderella on Friday, July 16 at Rockhurst High School, which is also the night of our alumni reunion and chocolate bar.

Please submit your essays, along with your name, address, phone number and e-mail address to Kate Lee Leibsle at kateleibsle67@gmail.com.

Questions can be directed to Kate at kateleibsle67@gmail.com.
