Sasha Boutilier received the 2013 Evanston Outstanding Volunteer Award from the City of Evanston, Northwestern University, and the Evanston Community Foundation. He was nominated and selected based on his extensive commitment to sharing his time and talents with the Evanston community throughout his high school years, including as a martial arts instructor teaching weekly self-defense classes at 6 Evanston elementary schools for the past 4 years, as a Youth Program Leader and Gym Instructor at the “Music and More” weekly after-school enrichment program at First Presbyterian Church, as a teaching assistant at two innovative martial arts programs for youth with special needs and developmental challenges, and for his work with the Brass For Beginners program through the Music Institute of Chicago. Thanks for doing so much for the community Sasha!
You have been a wonderful example for so many young musicians and for the studio.
I have enjoyed listening to you play and watching you grow over the years and feel grateful
that you were part of this with Sawyer. Wishing you the best next year!
