A Booker T. Washington High School senior has a big heart and he’ll receive some official recognition for it in a few days.
The Eastern Oklahoma Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) is giving the Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy award to Ben Perrault. According to the association, Perrault is a serious musician that believes in sharing his gift with others: “A wonderful quality about him is that he shares his love of music with others. He works with younger children, teaching them how to build a drum, how to play a drum and then giving them enough confidence for them to perform and has done mini-workshops for children introducing them to music.”
Perrault has also tutored students at Jackson Elementary and Hamilton Middle, assisting them in music, dance, drama, physical fitness and writing.
Perrault will be honored on Tuesday, November 10, at the Doubletree Downtown.
