The Gunther "Show Me Your Salt" Scholarship

This scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving youth hockey player that exhibits both a financial need and the qualities of hard work and discipline. The 47 Fund will provide the award directly to the St. Louis Rockets to cover a portion of the player's registration fee for the fall regular season.

“I’ve never known a man worth his salt who, in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline."  - Vince Lombardi
