Jon Desso Foundation, Inc.The Jon Desso Foundation is a scholarship to Prince Ave. Christian School that exists to honor the life of our dear friend, Jon Desso, who passed away on November 3, 2004.
Jon was the epitome of a good friend. He was kind, caring, and a friend to all. This scholarship is awarded annually to recipients that attend Prince Ave. Christian School. This scholarship was established to remember and honor the life of a PACS graduate from the Class of 2000, Jon Desso.

The Foundation
The Jon Desso Foundation was established by a group of Jon's best friends with the goal in mind of honoring the memory of our dear friend, Jon Desso, while at the same time, bringing glory to the Lord. By awarding scholarships for students to attend Prince Avenue Christian School, we feel that we are able to minister to the lives of others in that way.
PACS was a big part of all of our lives, and it is what brought this group of friends together and what has kept us together over the years. PACS and Jon are the common bond that we all have. We want to be able to give this same friendship and bond to other students in hopes that they will be able to have a friend as good as Jon was to all of us at the school that brought us all together.
