That was the grand total raised this week by the "I LIKE PIKE" team in support of our men's basketball student managers!

Thank you to every player, Coach, fan, manager and administrator that donated!

RU did not want to start a new scholarship fund last year when I approached them with Brett's idea. So, at this point, it was simply a fundraiser. Our "goal" was 15k, although I never expected to get past 5. Completely blown away how big it got so quickly, and how much of a program wide effort it became.

Coach Pikiell will decide how the money is divided up... completely at his discretion. I trust the man implicitly.

Maybe starting an "endowed scholarship" to be applied to team managers down the road. If anyone can get it done it would be BK.

If that's a possibility I will work to see that happens. Based on the response we got last week...perhaps sooner rather than later

For those unaware of the fundraiser who would still like to give is there a way to do that?

Jon...

At this point, yes, but...

The donation would not count towards priority points for the upcoming season.
