The Spirit Award

Brian Lee passed away on August 12, 2021, after years of suffering from a traumatic brain injury. The injury happened in 2005 during the swim portion of a triathlon - his heart stopped in the water. The damage to his body was severe, but his determination and perseverance to recover were awe-inspiring. The scholarship was created to keep his spirit and energy alive for years to come (long after we are gone). This endowment has created an annual scholarship awarded to a wrestler attending the University of Saskatchewan. This is the college that Brian attended and was part of the Huskie wrestling team.
