Gerardi Founders Award
We are honored to present the Gerardi Founders Award to the Committee of Explorers (COE)—a group of La Salle University alumni and proud brothers of Sigma Phi Lambda, La Salle’s first and only local fraternity.
Pete Bossow, for whom this tournament and our organization are named, was a beloved member of this fraternity. Since his passing, many of his fraternity brothers—through the COE—have continued to support For Pete’s Sake in his memory. Their lasting commitment to our mission, and their shared belief in providing hope and respite to families facing cancer, truly exemplify the spirit of the Gerardi Founder’s Award.

Who was Peter R. Bossow, Jr?
In 1998, Pete faced cancer. By 1999, he was gone. In that short span, he felt the weight of exhaustion, fear, and sadness familiar to many battling cancer. Yet amidst this turmoil, a respite experience provided by loved ones allowed Pete and his wife Marci to momentarily escape the clutches of illness. Rediscovering their identity beyond cancer, they found strength and renewal.
After their revitalizing respite, Pete was determined to offer others the chance to rejuvenate their minds, bodies, and spirits just as he had. Marci made a solemn vow to Pete, pledging to devote her entire life to fulfilling his dream. Now, a quarter-century later, Pete's legacy endures, impacting countless adult cancer patients and their caregivers with the gift of joy through transformative respite.
Thank you to our committee!
