  • Kevin Rogers Memorial Scholarship

    If any of you were at the women's basketball game on Monday night, a good friend of mine had a table set up at the top of the stairs for a scholarship drive in memory of a Jackrabbit fan, Kevin Rodgers, who lost his life in a vehicle/bicycle accident in Sioux Falls back in August.

    Here is a link from the SDSU Foundation discussing the memorial.

    Matt James, the organizer of the memorial, will be riding his bike in the 83 mile Tour de Kota in June in Kevin's memory. In coordination with this, The University Bookstore has agreed to donate all proceeds from sales of Jackrabbit cycling jerseys sold between now and June 10th to this memorial.

    The goal of the fundraiser is to raise $25,000 to create a perpetual scholarship for the women's basketball team in Kevin's honor.

    Thanks for reading, I hope you consider helping out!


    P.S. I have a PDF flyer from Matt that he had displayed at the Monday night basketball game if anyone can tell me how to get it posted on here I'd appreciate it.

      There is an article in the Argus Leader today discussing the scholarship drive and the circumstances that lead to it in greater detail.
