Year 1995

The Bourbonnais Friendship Festival, Inc, is a non profit organization

dedicated to family oriented recreation and to the financial support

of numerous community organizations.  This scholarship has been

created to honor the memory of an individual who was a long time

festival leader and volunteer.  Upon his passing in Jan. of 2007, those

people who were touched by his dedication to this community, his

selflessness, generosity and giving spirit, donated the money to

create this award.

It is the intention of the Bourbonnais Friendship Festival that this

scholarship award be granted to an individual whose values reflect

those of the late Mr. Leeman Braford and that the $250.00 stipend

is used to support future college or vocational training goals.

Congratulations to the 2011 recipients
