Anthony Santarelli Receives STM Young Alumni of the Year Award

Anthony Santarelli Receives STM Young Alumni of the Year Award at the “Lives of Legacy” Ten Year Anniversary Celebration

The 2010 Annual Spring Gala “Lives of Legacy” A Ten Year Journey returned home to Saint Thomas More – a most fitting venue for this anniversary celebration on Saturday, April 17th. STM Founding Fathers, Pioneers, alumni and alumni parents from the Classes of 2003-2005 were honored with a private reception. Guests watched as a very special evening unfolded with a musical review by STM students and alumni, and a moving and inspirational video tribute to the STM Pioneers and 2009 Paideia Award Winner John May. Sean McDonald, President of the newly established STM Alumni Association, recognized 2006 graduate Anthony Santarelli as the recipient of the first Young Alumni of the Year Award recognizing his positive impact to the Champaign-Urbana community through Illinois Green Business Association, a not-for-profit company established to assist local businesses in becoming more environmentally friendly or “green”. The mission of Illinois Green Business Association is to achieve a healthier and cleaner environment by helping businesses integrate environmental responsibility into daily operations in a sustainable and profitable manner and launched its pilot program in July of 2009.
