The Star Award:

Each year, the faculty of the Leon High School Choral Department selects the recipient of the Dale Pullen Memorial "Star" Award. The "Star" Award is presented to the senior choral student who shares Dale's passion for music, has been judged an outstanding talent and has demonstrated a willingness to serve others.

Other Scholarships:

The financial contributions from prior tournaments have provided sufficient funds for the "Star" Award scholarship fund to be self-sustaining. The nonprofit Community Foundation of North Florida administers this scholarship fund. Contributions to this year's tournament will provide additional scholarship funds for other high school choral students through the nonprofit Leon Friends of Music, Inc. Proceeds from the tournament will be used to sponsor and provide financial aid to the choral program for needs such as uniform rentals, voice lessons, music competitions, camps and clinics.

Tax deductible contributions for the Dale Pullen Scholarship Fund should be made payable to the Leon Friends of Music and can be mailed to:
