Our first scholarships were given in the name of
Project co-founder Kelly Michaels. His dedication to education, performance
and his generosity of spirit continue sustain the PROJECT. In 1996
our scholarships were given in memory of Chicago great Sammy Dyer,
whose School of Theatre and Dance has operated continuously since
1934, making it one of the oldest institutions of dance in America.
His students include Broadway star Ted Levy as well as Rhythm I.S.S.
founder, Idella Reed and Steppin' Out founders, Bril Barrett and
Donnell Russell. In 1997 our scholarships were given to honor Mr.
Tommy Sutton, another Chicago legend whose daughter Peggy Sutton
continues to administrate and teach at the Mayfair Academy here in
Chicago. Mr. Sutton's career spanned seven decades and his influence
can be felt around the globe. In 1998 our scholarships were awarded
to honor the legacy of Lloyd Storey. A native mid-westerner whose
career spanned over 60 years, Mr. Storey performed for over 40 years
as a founder and member of the Sultans, a lifelong commitment to
education and the final European tour of Black and Blue. In 2000
our scholarships were dedicated to American tap Pioneer Paul Draper.
