2009 Founder’s Alumni Scholarship Recipient – VIDEO

Child S.H.A.R.E. has named Coty Dietel, the 2009 Founder’s Alumni Scholarship recipient. The award was presented on October 10th at the organization’s 24th annual Gala at the California Club in downtown Los Angeles.

“Coty is a wonderful example of what happens when a family opens their heart and home to a child in the foster system. Child S.H.A.R.E. congratulates Coty on his many accomplishments and wishes him great success in his future endeavors,” says Steele.

 
Coty Dietel was removed from his biological parents at the age of 13 months due to abuse and neglect.  He and his four siblings were on their way to becoming just another statistic in the foster care system.  However, Ron and Sue Dietel, a Child S.H.A.R.E. family adopted Coty and helped him beat the odds.  Coty is actively involved in Boy Scouts, earning his Eagle Scout Award, and graduated high school this past year.  He is currently attending Glendale Community College.
