February 2010
To all of our
Family, Friends, Donors, and Recipients of the
“Jordan Alexander Bass Music Memorial Scholarship Foundation”
It is time to update the Jordan Alexander Bass Music Memorial
Scholarship Foundation. We apologize for the absence of the scholarship awards
in 2009. Due to the economic
climate, we were unable to satisfy the desired funds necessary to go forward in
2009. Fortunately, the
J.A.B.M.M.S. has been blessed this year with a personal / corporate scholarship
donation for 2010. Mr. Greg
Anzalone with “Side Show Collectibles” also affiliated with “Clear Purpose”
Chiropractic Offices in Westlake Village, has graciously sponsored the two
scholarships for the dedicated music award recipients for 2010, totaling
$3500.00.
Mr.
Anzalone, words cannot adequately express the gratitude the Bass family feels
for this very selfless and unexpected contribution. Your kind and generous
support enables our beloved Jordan’s musical spirit to thrive through two music
award recipients given the music scholarships in Jordan’s memory to further their
music education. Please know that
you will forever be on our precious list of angels who support the J.A.B.M.M.S.
Your name will be mentioned with honor at the awards ceremony in June
2010. Thank you from the bottom of
our hearts.
It
seems unbelievable that it has been nine years since our Jordan has been with
us. This will be the eighth year
we will be awarding the “Jordan Alexander Bass Music Memorial Scholarships” at
the Westlake High School Scholarship Awards Foundation Ceremony in June of
2010. Each year we attempt to extend the miracle of being able to award two
scholarships exemplifying exceptional musical talent through two chosen awards
recipients. The first award, totaling $2500.00, is
given to a student with a 3.6 or above grade point average acquiring a major or
minor in music.
The second award, totaling $1000.00, is given to a student with a 3.0 or above grade point
average acquiring a minor in music. We pray for the chosen award recipients’ academic success
and hope they remember that the memory of Jordan’s love and dedication to his
music lives on through their future creative and artistic accomplishments.
In
December of 2009, Jordan’s brother Jameson graduated with honors from the
University of Southern California Thornton School of Music with a degree in
Music Business Industry. He will
be attending Law School in August 2011, and eventually hopes to become a
copyright law or entertainment law attorney. He is presently working at the law firm of Greenberg and
Bass. We pray that he continues making extraordinary accomplishments in his
life and that he is gently and comfortably content with the amazing direction
the dedication to his education will be taking him. We could not be more proud
of the exceptional young man he has become. Regardless of the great loss his
older bother Jordan has been to him, he has shown immeasurable strength and
courage that he has taught us to exhibit each and every day by example. We thank God for the true blessing that
our precious son Jameson has been in our lives.
Once
again, we want to take this opportunity to thank all of the previous donors for
their support of the “Jordan Alexander Bass Music Memorial Scholarship”. Our
continued desire is to sustain the J.A.B.M.M.S. for the 16 years that Jordan
graced us with his musical spirit and magical presence in our lives. He was an
honor student excelling in math and foreign language and an accomplished junior
golfer at North Ranch Country Club.
Although his academic dream was to attend Stanford University on a golf
scholarship and become an entertainment law attorney, Jordan’s true peace and
creative contentment was writing and performing his music on the piano and his
guitar. The J.A.B.M.M.S. allows Jordan’s memory to live on through the lives of
other talented students whose musical and academic accomplishments “will come
true”.
May
God Bless You and Keep You Safe, The Bass Family
