丹尼酸式焦磷酸钠, a 1968 Northwest graduate who became a Naval aviator and served as a Blue Angels solo demonstration pilot for two seasons, established the Anne Morgan Sapp Dream Team Scholarship through the Northwest Foundation.

“She was just always there to do something for somebody else,丹尼说. “The empathy that she had was unreal. 我从没见过像她这样的人. I guess that’s why I wanted to be part of her life.”

The scholarship will assist students who qualify for the Northwest Promise, previously known as the American Dream Grant. The inaugural scholarship of $1,000 will be awarded for the 2023-24 academic year.

Denny established the scholarship with the required minimum distribution from his IRA and with memorial gifts the family received after Anne’s passing last summer. He opted to fund the named scholarship endowment at $25,000美元外加3美元,000提供1美元,000 award for each of the first three years.

“认识安妮是我的荣幸,劳里·朗, a senior gift planning officer with Northwest’s Office of University Advancement, 说. “She was so thoughtful and gracious and offered her best to everyone. When she spoke of their Northwest experiences – meeting Denny, 建立终身友谊, 与铁塔合唱团合作演出, developing her teaching skills – you realized it was a special time. Through the hearts she touched and the lives yet to be impacted by her scholarship, 安妮的记忆将永存. We are grateful for Denny’s generous support and commitment to helping our students succeed.”

Denny told Anne about the scholarship’s creation on her birthday, 7月29日, 就在她8月11日去世前几周. 14, after a three-year battle with multiple myeloma.

“She was incredibly tickled about it, knowing that it was going to be a scholarship for people who were in need,丹尼说.

安妮在艾略特出生长大, 爱荷华州, and graduated from Northwest in 1969 with a bachelor’s degree in English. She was an active member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority and served as its president. She also was voted Northwest’s Tower Queen.

Denny was born and raised in Red Oak, 爱荷华州, and graduated from Northwest with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education with an emphasis in industrial arts. He was active in the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity and met Anne while he was serving as the Phi Sig house manager.

作为美国的一员.S. 海军, 他曾三次被派往越南, recording 367 combat missions and receiving numerous decorations. He then was assigned duties as a test and evaluation pilot at the Naval Weapons Center in China Lake, 加州. 从那里, Denny was selected to join the Blue Angels in Pensacola, 佛罗里达, where he flew as a solo demonstration pilot in 1975 and 1976.

Sapp retired from the 海军 after 23 years of service with the rank of captain. He then flew for Western Airlines, Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines.

因为丹尼在海军服役, the couple moved frequently and Anne carried her passion for education with them. Anne’s first teaching position was in a north 佛罗里达 high school with more than 4,000 students on the heels of racial integration, which sparked her advocacy for social justice.

When the couple moved to Thousand Oaks, 加州, 在80年代早期, Anne started a learning assistance program at 加州 Lutheran University. She finished her career teaching at Gig Harbor High School in Washington, where she taught for five years and was voted favorite teacher three times by the senior class.

“She was an educator at the top of the board,丹尼说. “She was always concerned about students not having funds to go to college.”

一旦退休, 这对夫妇到处旅行。, including multiple trips to Cambodia, where they worked with a non-government organization (NGO) to help rescue trafficked children and open a school.

“I wanted people to understand what kind of a person she had been and the accolades that she had received her entire life,丹尼说. “She was always willing to step to the background and not be in the limelight. She liked to sit in the front row of class, but she never wanted to be in the limelight.”
