DLSAA holds One La Salle Night of Excellence

On April 19, 2013, the De La Salle Alumni Association (DLSAA) held its annual One La Salle Night of Excellence to recognize the varied achievements of Lasallian alumni.

DLSAA President Johnny Sy also launched the Lasallian Alumni Athletes’ Assistance Fund, a project which aims to solicit funds for former Lasallian athletes in need of financial assistance.
