WGRZ-TV features James Sutton '24, William Michael Tompkins '16 Scholarship
Keith McShea

"Because of William's spirit and DeeAnn's drive, every year, students like James will be able to go on the same trip that changed William's life when he walked through the halls at Canisius and opened his eyes to the true meaning of the school's motto, 'Men for Others.' "

Our utmost gratitude to Pete Gallivan and WGRZ Ch. 2 for sharing the story of James Sutton '24, the first recipient of the William M. Tompkins Scholarship at CHS, and DeeAnn DiMeo, who established the scholarship in memory of her son.

Watch the entire story below:

The story mention's Sutton's experience in Puerto Rico as part of the CHS Companions Program, in which juniors respond to the Ignatian call to service via immersion trips.
