K-W legacy bills itself as a "scholarship bro- ker" and another aspect of it is to bring in cor- porate partners who act as "Platinum Spon- sors," donating scholarships of $5,000 each, usually to fund grads who may follow in that chosen field. Legacy currently has nine Platinum spon- sors ranging from educational ones such as Bishop's and St. Jerome's University to cor- porate partners Heffner Toyota, CBRE, Alder Construction, Innocente, MGC Manufacturing Remedy'sRx as well as Legacy itself. The latest sponsor is Mo Targoz Financial, and they're always looking for more. The opening section of the Legacy Scholar- ship Program pamphlet says it all: "Achieving greatness requires overcoming challenges. Enriching the lives of fellow citizens by sharing greatness will create a meaningful legacy with a far reaching and evolutionary impact. The goal of Legacy Scholarships is to help high school students in Waterloo region overcome the challenges of funding post-sec- ondary education. These students will be our future leaders, community builders, and foun- dation." Some of the inspiration behind the efforts of the Denomme brothers to make their commu- nity a better place now and in the future came from their late uncle, Jim Lehman. "Jim was one of those grass roots lead- ers who I learned more about after he passed away," says Mike. "He was part of so many starter initiatives, sat on all these committees, etc., but also empowered other people to make a difference in their community. Which is what I believe Legacy is all about." "His ability to give, teach and challenge real- ly set both Mike and I up to be successful," adds Brian. "He did so many things that we weren't even aware of." Call me a fool but it sounds like Uncle Jim left quite a legacy of his own. ••• Brian Totzke is a freelance writer and is on Twit- ter: @kitwatguy Titans announce key signings The K-W Titans have increased their veteran presence with the signing of two experienced players.
