PropertyGuys.com Gives Back - Lasting Legacies

Crandall alumni and business owners establish scholarships honouring former professor

Much like their other classmates, Class of 2001 graduates and PropertyGuys.com founders Ken LeBlanc and Jeremy Demont owe a lot of their success to their formative years at Crandall University. During their time at Crandall, they learned the importance of following their dreams to better their communities and to always reach for the stars when it comes to their business endeavours.

“We wanted to give back to the place that, ultimately, set us up for success for the rest of our lives,” stated Demont. “We could think of no better person to honour than our past business professor, Dr. Dannie Brown. It is our desire that these two annual scholarships in his name will now go toward encouraging more students in the undergraduate and graduate business programs.”

Both LeBlanc and Demont have fond memories of Dr. Brown’s classes: “Dr. Brown’s classes were influential on our beginnings as entrepreneurs,” mused LeBlanc, President and CEO of PropertyGuys.com. “I’m not sure if we would be in the same position that we are in today if Dr. Brown’s passion for business and teaching hadn’t been in our lives. We want future students to enjoy the same opportunities that we had. Crandall’s postsecondary experience is all about learning the kind of person that you want to be and we want to offer students the same excitement and educational experience that shaped us.”

On learning of the new scholarships, Dr. Brown said he was “humbled and honoured by the recognition.”

Both LeBlanc and Demont cannot wait to see the future entrepreneurs that Crandall creates, and are looking forward to continuing their support of the Chargers community for years to come!
