“One word – love!”

The Jimmy Brazell Community Impact Scholarship Award is given in memory of one of our finest young leaders who died in a tragic accident on July 31, 2011. Chandler “Jimmy” Brazell was an excellent TeenPact staffer, a gifted worship leader, a passionate missionary and a beloved friend who spent his life telling others about the love of God. Jimmy had one life message: love. He truly understood what it meant to live with compassion and purpose, motivated by God’s love to give hope to the world. Jimmy was known to say, “It takes a lot of love to live” and the winners of this essay contest follow his example of impacting their communities for Christ.

TeenPact Leadership Schools and the Jimmy Brazell Foundation are pleased this year to present the Seventh Annual Jimmy Brazell Community Impact Scholarship Award to three deserving students.
