Congratulations Travis! Cal’s Angels was impressed with Travis’ work in the local community. He is an all around volunteer who does everything from helping his autistic neighbor (Travis says he learned more from him) to helping special needs kids in PE (he wanted to make a lasting impression so that life is a little bit easier for them). Travis states that his parents taught him to believe that “what goes around comes around.”

When applying for the Cal’s Angels Scholarship, Travis had several goals in mind. First, he realized how hard his parents were working to give him a good life and wanted to help ease that stress for them financially. He also made it clear that he wasn’t trying to “win the award” but that he was just being himself and that there is no better feeling than being rewarded for who you are. Travis says baseball taught him to persevere and be a team player.

Travis said that he could relate to Cal and said if he didn't win he knew “the senior from his team would do great things and honor Cal's memory” – Cal’s Angels thought this showed great maturity and solidified to us that he would represent the Foundation well.
