Dear Wayne:

On behalf of the Connally Family, we extend our heartfelt thanks to you, as, Director of Community Relations and the Boston Celtics, for honoring us with the prestigious, “Heroes Among Us” award. We feel proud to be in the company of numerous other outstanding recipients.
I must say that our children, Quinn & Tess are without a doubt our heroes. They continue to inspire us daily to move forward and make a difference in our community.
We learned first hand what a powerful and positive influence organized sports had on Quinn and Tess. Quinn’s Legacy Foundation will foster that positive effect through academic and athletic opportunities at The Quinn Connally Memorial Sports Facility.
Thank you for the very special honor of choosing our family for your splendid “Heroes Among Us” award.

Sincerely,


The Connally Family
