Newsworthy

Absolutely newsworthy, in fact, I just confirmed this is the ONLY scholarship that is offered to a Kinesiology student.

Mrs. Carol Trosclair Lamson, David's mother, told me that her goal, for this year, is to raise over $100,000 for the David Trosclair Memorial Scholarship Fund.

I have provided information to Sean Manual, from UL who videotaped some segments from the kick off event, KLFY Channel 10 anchor George Faust came out to our event with his camera crew and I am hoping that the student I met who took photographs sent them to the student paper and the advertiser, at least that is what he told me he was doing.

The Athletic Network has sent out email blasts and posted it on their website and of course we have the support and help of all of you at Ragin Pagin, which we are very grateful for!

If any of you has connections to the alumni association and can assist us in getting the word out to them, that would be fantastic. I have sent links and info to Christine Payton, to get a news story in the UL - e-news and quarterly UL magazine. I would love contact information please for local news editors to send this information to as well please. Dr. Campbell has been on local radio stations and television stations promoting this event and scholarship for the last few weeks. There is only a few days left on the auction, it ends Oct 7, we would be grateful for any and all assistance. We understand how everyone is crunched for time, if everyone passes on the links and info to at least one person, play it forward, it would help us out tremendously please. This auction and scholarship benefits the students at UL and is a great source of positive PR for the University. These students also spend countless hours serving as volunteers in the community helping local charities. I have volunteered alongside of them on many charity projects and am Very proud to be working with them all again. Thanks in advance for your support!!
