Meet La-Hesh. He's a 1992 graduate of Cardinal Hayes High School. La-Hesh went on to SUNY Oneonta and then attended Officer Candidate School for the Navy. He bravely served in the Persian Gulf after 9/11 and was promoted to the rank Captain in September. He is currently working at the Pentagon. He is a hero to us all. His heroes, though, are his mentor-sponsors. 30+ years later and they are still very much a part of his life, always inspiring him to keep reaching new heights.
Here's what La-Hesh told us: "The mentor-sponsor program was life-changing. Its impact altered the direction of my life. Bill and Sharon were instrumental in my growth from a boy into a man. They are family! I know I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for their love and support."
