ocial justice is an

attempt to even the playing field when it

comes to basic rights…

…we are very capable of being an interna-

tional beacon of peace and human rights.

However, our recent track record does not

show that.

It is the right and responsibility of every citizen

to be involved in shaping their government

into what it ought to be…

he Adrian Maxson

scholarship is a truly inspired initiative that

was founded to support social engagement

in the Ogden community and beyond.

Receiving the Adrian Maxson scholarship

reminded me that the outside world noticed

the work I was doing and were positively

impacted by my actions.

This realization furthered my resolve

to live for service which has helped to

enrich my life.”

auguSt 31, 1988 – apriL 4, 2007

I remember quite vividly

at the dinner table, the family talking about all the despair and injustice in the world. Suddenly Adrian looked into my eyes and said, “So what are you doing about it?” After an uncomfortable pause I gave a feeble answer about supporting world hunger, blah, blah, blah. He seemed satisfied with my reply, but I certainly was not.

After Adrian was killed I discovered much about the kind of person he really was—kind and caring, and well beyond his years in understanding global affairs, human rights, and social justice. There was much he would have accomplished in our world.

In his memory and the spirit of his short life the Adrian Maxson Scholarship for Social Justice was established. Please consider a donation to this important and relevant scholarship with a tax-deductable gift.
