About the event
ADEN PERRY GOOD SAMARITAN AND SCHOLARSHIP FUND HERO AWARD
📅 May 24th is Aden Perry Day in the City of Sunrise
In honor of the anniversary of the day Aden received the Proclamation and Medal of Valor from his hometown for his final, most selfless act, we are seeking to recognize a hometown hero on this special day.
Aden was an extraordinary young man—brilliant, compassionate, and deeply committed to helping others. He tragically lost his life after jumping into a lake in an attempt to save someone else. His courage and selflessness define what it truly means to be a hero.
To carry forward Aden’s legacy of kindness and service, the Aden Perry Good Samaritan and Scholarship Fund was established to support students on their academic journeys.

This opportunity is open to ALL STUDENTS who are residents of Aden’s hometown (City of Sunrise) 🏡.
