Men's Legacy Breakfast
"Sometimes the most beautiful, inspirational changes will disguise themselves as utter destruction. Be patient." ~ Jason Schechterle
Thank you to everyone who attended our Inaugural Legacy Breakfast on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
The gym was packed with more than 125 "Men of NDP" from former teachers to current dads, uncles and grandfathers!
The event raised over $30,000 for our Saints Athletic and Arts programs. We are extremely grateful to Scott Jenkins, our Advisory School Board President, who spearheaded the event, and to all of our amazing sponsors who made it possible to host this free event:
BNI Arizona, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Van Buick GMC, Sparklight, Big O Tires, Wilde Wealth Management Group, Dominick's Steakhouse, Fromto Consulting LLC, Newmark, Marsh McLennan Agency, and SIM AZ.
Through their philanthropic commitment, the event came at no cost to NDP; therefore, every dollar raised went straight to our students.
The highlight of the early-morning breakfast was the inspiring speech by our amazing keynote speaker Jason Schechterle. Jason was a Phoenix police officer who suffered severe burns as a result of tragic car accident. But he overcame his injuries, surgeries and years of physical therapy to become one the most inspiring men in Arizona.
He travels the country telling his story and sharing his wisdom. "There is nothing stronger than a mind made up," he said about his recovery.
