Donor Story:
Congratulations to the recipient of the 1963 & 1964 Golden Gaels Football Scholarship! The 1963 and 64 Golden Gaels were two of the very few teams in the long history of Queen’s football to complete two successive undefeated seasons winning the college championship in each of those years. At the induction of the ’64 Golden Gaels into the Queen’s Football Hall of Fame, the members of the team were unanimous in their acknowledgement of the significant role that Queen’s football played in their personal development, and in their careers. The attributes that they acquired as a result of that experience, which was mentioned numerous times, included responsibility, commitment, respect and teamwork, to name but a few. This award represents the intention of the members of both those teams to continue this legacy by providing financial support to a worthy recipient who has demonstrated his ability as both a football player and a scholar.
