Wanted to let you all know that there will be a jambalaya cookoff on April 4, 2009 Cajun Field before and during the home baseball game with Middle Tennessee. The event is to help raise money for the Jim Marks Endowed Scholarship Fund. This scholarship is for any student who is in remission or fighting cancer. The Scholarship was created in memory of Jim Marks, a student who was diagnosed with leukemia while enrolled at UL. While in remission, Jim had to drop out of school to work in the oil field to pay-off his medical bills. Unfortunately, the cancer came back to took his life in 2007. This scholarship was created so that other students fighting cancer can finish school, as Jim wanted to. Jim was member of SAE fraternity, the active chapter, along with alumni, work together to put on this cook-off to help raise money for the scholarship.
We are asking for donations, sponsors, and teams to help make this event a success. Entry fee is $50 (team of 4 individuals), and registrations are due by April 3rd. Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers. For more information, please contact one of the following gentlemen:
