Dear Mr. Battles:

I am humbled to submit to you a letter of professional recommendation for Mr. John Burrell for the Elder Watson Diggs Award through Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. I have known John for the past eleven years in my role as the Executive Director of a non-for-profit community sports injury organization serving kids and schools in Jacksonville, FL. John has been a vital part of our sports safety efforts within our urban core schools serving high school aged kids. His leadership abilities have significantly contributed to the development and valuation of the certified athletic trainer as an integral part of the secondary school environment locally here in Jacksonville, Florida. Through his labors (volunteer efforts) John has assisted our organization in creating a solution to a void within our public school system and developed a plan for resolution within a five-year period. Mr. Burrell is a professional offering impeccable qualities and superior work ethic. Through his efforts young kids in our community have received an NFL quality experience in high school. John is a tremendous presence in our local efforts in making Jacksonville a safer place to play. Please let me know if you require any additional information. I offer my highest recommendation for Mr. John Burrell for the Elder Watson Diggs Award.

Sincerely, Robert R. Sefcik Executive Director
