We have received an overwhelming amount of support thus far for the Richard "Richie" M. Edmonson Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund. As of today, generous donors have given more than $15,000 toward the $25,000 goal, and that exciting response came in just under 20 days.
With 10 days left on our Richie’s Fund crowdfunding campaign, we are only shy $10,000. Please share the link below as well as the video tribute for Richie with your colleagues, friends and family members to help push this fund over the goal, which will help support law students in Richie’s honor and create a permanent endowment.
Every single dollar given is helping us reach the $25,000 goal, and we are so thankful for every contribution! Please let us hear from you today!
On April 14th Richie would have celebrated his 53rd birthday. Happy Birthday, Richie! Your spirit lives on.
