First Event a GREAT Success!

Thanks to everyone that participated in our first ever Freeman Foundation event. The BBQ was a phenomenal time had by all. The entire evening was filled with Chris's family, friends and memories. We even had live video of one of Chris's many Greek Week performances. The event and other money raised from generous donors has raised well over $5,000 at this point - so we have reached a third of our goal. Please pass along information about this tax deductible scholarship fund to as many people as you can. And don't forget to see if your company is willing to match your donation. Thanks again to everyone that has participated. Keep your eyes posted for an event later in the year.

Announcing: The Christopher G. Freeman Tribute Scholarship

In celebration of Christopher Freeman, we’ve created a long overdue Scholarship Fund through the NAU Foundation in his name and need your help to make the Chris Freeman Tribute Scholarship a reality.

In honor of Christopher Freeman, the Freeman Tribute Scholarship will provide deserving students with financial assistance towards an education at Northern Arizona University. Students whose lives have been touched by cancer and whom display an aptitude for leadership and dedication towards academics may apply.

Christopher Freeman was not only a founding father of the NAU Delta Tau Delta chapter and Association of University Residence Hall (AURH) President, he was the kind of friend that made every moment memorable with his comedy, charisma and charm. He was a tremendously cherished friend and a tremendous leader on the NAU campus.

Now, what brings a great idea to fruition is action! That’s where you come in! We’re asking for you to take action today. Please help celebrate Chris Freeman by donating to his Scholarship, forwarding this website to friends of Chris, and spreading the word about the Freeman Tribute Scholarship!

The goal is to raise $15,000 by October 31st in order to fund the first scholarship for the 2009 Spring semester. Your contribution would be sincerely appreciated!

Please make checks payable to NAU Foundation FBO the Christopher Freeman Scholarship and mail to:
