18thAnnual Kevin’s FundGolf Tournament
With a mixture of pride and appreciation we are proud to announce the 18th and final Kevin’s Fund Golf Tournament to benefit the Kevin M. Eidt Memorial Scholarship will be held at the Wayland Country Club in Wayland, MA on Sunday, September 25, 2016.
The Kevin M. Eidt Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded by Kevin’s parents after he passed away his freshman year at Boston College. After 17 events we all agreed that as we and our families get older and children more involved in school and extracurricular activities it is harder to find the time to make sure the event continues to be one of quality. Feeling we could not maintain the quality the event deserves, we thought it appropriate to have the last event be the 18th, reflecting a gathering for each year of Kevin’s life.
This one last event enables us to say thank you all for your many years of support, and to have folks come out in memory of Kevin one more time. The event will be more basic - just golf and food, without any contributions, raffle, goody bags, or any new prizes (although we may clean out the cellar of Kevin’s Fund items from years past) so the per golfer cost will be just $100. While not required as part of the golf registration, for those who would like, donations to the Scholarship Fund will be accepted and properly acknowledged as charitable gift.
You may sign-up with your foursome or the Committee will be happy to make groups for you if you do not have four people.
Kevin’s Fund and the Kevin M. Eidt Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Kevin, an Honors Program computer science major in the Boston College Carroll School of Management class of '00, who died of cardiac arrest during an intramural basketball game in his freshman year. The Fund will apply 100% of the proceeds from this event to scholarships for the 2016-17 academic year, and in particular to the Boston College scholarships.
Since its inception in 1997 the Fund has awarded over $1.75 Million in scholarships to 124 young men and women attending institutions such as Amherst, Boston College,Bucknell, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Connecticut, Dartmouth, Fairfield, Georgetown, Harvard, Holy Cross, Johns Hopkins,Notre Dame, Rhode Island, Tufts,William & Mary and Wisconsin.There are currently two scholarships in Kevin's name at Boston College, one for a member of the CSOM Honors Program and another for a member of the Emerging Leader Program.
