PRESS RELEASE: MiPAC to Grant Automatic Scholarship to ALL campers • May 19, 2016

ADRIAN, MICHIGAN –The Michigan Performing Arts Camp (MiPAC) announced today that all campers will automatically receive the Jesse R. Daeschlein Memorial Scholarship to attend the camp’s 2016 premiere season.

The JRD Memorial Scholarship grants $201 to each Resident Camper, reducing their MiPAC tuition to $999/week. It also grants $301 to each Day Camper, lowering their tuition to $499/week.

The scholarship will apply for all weeks enrolled, and will be awarded automatically to all campers this summer, including all those currently enrolled.

The scholarship was created in honor of the late Jesse Robert Daeschlein (b. 3/8/79), a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and brother-in-law of MiPAC Artistic Director and co-founder, Timothy Martuch. Mr. Daeschlein passed away on April 16, 2016 after a year-long battle against a form of liver cancer. He was 37 years old.

Mrs. Stacy Daeschlein, Jesse’s wife of ten years and older sister to Mr. Martuch, released the following statement: “Jesse was my first deep love, though his first love was music. If there was anything he wanted to do with his life, it was to be a mentor or teacher to young individuals to help them find their life’s passion. I am proud to announce his dream will become a reality through the Jesse Robert Daeschlein Memorial Scholarship at MiPAC. I hope that his memory will touch and inspire MiPAC’s students as much as Jesse touched me, my brother Tim, and our whole family.”

The scholarship will give Mr. Martuch the chance to fulfill a promise. “Jesse and I met when I was just 10 years old, and I loved him as if he were my big brother,” said Martuch. “He was one of the most supportive, motivating, and influential people in my life. Last spring, Jesse asked me to teach him how to play guitar. I made him a promise that we would do it this summer of 2016. But then he got his diagnosis, and we just ran out of time.”

“We are extremely grateful to Jesse’s wife, Stacy Daeschlein, and to her entire family for making possible such a generous gift to every single one of our campers,” said MiPAC President Keisuke Hoashi. “It will be our great honor and privilege to dedicate our first season to Jesse’s memory.”
