St. Francis Health Foundation Page... with stories of all the Courage to Comeback Awardees.
Newspaper Articles: I scanned it and it didn't turn out real great and takes a little while to load, but it does have a picture and is a very nice article. Elmira Star-Gazette article from the Sunday paper, March 14, 1999.
The Award: For being chosen as the 1999 Courage to Comeback Pittsburgh Penguin Youth Awardee, MaryLyn attended a dinner at the Sheraton in Pittsburgh in April, 1999, where she and 5 other awardees were recognized. Before the dinner, St. Francis Health Foundation sent out a camera crew to put together a 4-5 minute biography that would be shown on a large screen projector at the dinner before she received her award. So one winter day Mary was able to have the time of her life being photographed, even in her school. That night Mary received a trophy, medallion, ring, and a cash award. February 9, 2000, Mary attended the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game where she was recognized before the game and had her picture taken with Jagr and Straka! I'll be sure to post the professional picture on here, so look for it in a few weeks!
