In Tribute to Larry Lorenzi
Loris "Larry" Lorenzi gave his heart and soul to DECA for most of his life. When Larry passed away last September, DECA lost a piece of itself that it will never get back. But we can honor Larry Lorenzi and his dedication to DECA for a long time to come through the Memorial Scholarship that bears his name. Please help us keep Larry's legacy alive by helping to build this scholarship with your contributions. The DECA Board of Directors has pledged to match the first $5,000 raised.
