KALAMAZOO, Michigan, 28 December 2023 – Aldevra proudly announces the Lorenzo Marshall Scholarship, a tribute to the late Lorenzo Donnell Marshall, brother of Aldevra’s owner, Rodney Marshall. Lorenzo was a role model and standout athlete at Battle Creek Central High School, Class of 1989, where he excelled in Track & Field, setting numerous records. He was also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps where he and his brother Rodney served together.
Lorenzo continued his service to the community at home in Battle Creek by working with youth as a coach and trainer. He was known for his inventions and techniques to help athletes, and founded Camp Marshall, where he specialized in strength and endurance conditioning for athletes and youth, guiding them to peak sports performance.
The inaugural recipient of the Lorenzo Marshall Scholarship is Jadyn Walker, a senior from Portage Northern High School. Jadyn exemplifies the qualities Lorenzo held dear: athletic prowess, leadership, and academic dedication, making him an ideal candidate for this scholarship.
In collaboration with Kzoo Leaders, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering youth leadership, this scholarship aims to support and inspire students like Jadyn, who embody the same commitment to excellence and community as Lorenzo did.
Rodney Marshall, reflecting on this initiative, remarked, “This scholarship honors my brother’s memory and also invests in the bright future of young individuals who share his passion for life and service.”
The Lorenzo Marshall Scholarship will provide Jadyn Walker with crucial support as he pursues his college education, continuing Lorenzo’s legacy of empowering youth.
