As the Campaign Draws to a Close …

Just Five Days Left! Please Share to Help Us Reach the Goal.

As of today, 115 people have made gifts to the Jacques Allain Memorial Scholarship, one of the best participation rates in Ignite Ole Miss history. This incredible outpouring of love and generosity in memory of their son and brother has touched the Allain family. But we’re not finished yet.

Just five days are left to give, and we are so close to our $35,000 goal. Please consider sharing this campaign with your friends and contacts to help ensure that the Jacques Allain Memorial Scholarship can be awarded to University of Mississippi School of Business Administration students.

When Jacques passed away last year, his family resolved that his legacy of helping others and his love of Ole Miss would live on. Thank you for being part of this special mission. Let’s make it happen together!
