Will donate, but what is the money going toward? Fatty4KSU scholarship fund?

Also, if _Fan can put this on a T-shirt, I'd wear the ever living life out of it:

The link explains it:

Quote
The funds will go directly to the ongoing treatment of Weesam Alkhatib, peritoneal mesothelioma cancer research, and a memorial project.

Yeah, I skipped over SD's link. Figured he was getting a miles kickback out of it or something. Thanks though.

I didn't  see the link for goEMAW'rs until after I donated.  :dubious: The "donate" img/button is so inviting.

I never had the chance to meet him, but its very obvious he was a great guy, and well loved. He will be missed.

Having a yearly scholarship awarded to a ksu student would be great. 
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

no it wouldn't.  i've had scholarships named after people.  i never knew anything about the person, nor did i care.  the last thing that would be good to do with the money is to give it to some ungrateful student who doesn't no crap or care about emaw.

Yeah. I just clicked on donate. May donate again just to use the members route.

you act like there isn't a letter or summary of goals that accompanies scholarships.  I mean if it didn't start off with  :combofan: in some fashion toss that app in the trash.

I'm confident that it could be done in a way where this wouldn't be the case.

Based on what I've read/gathered from years of lurkings, giving it to a MHS student who makes the decision to become an EMAW might be appropriate

I would absolutely contribute to a scholarship fund that promoted/rewarded fatty's values.

Fly finalists to wherever sys happens to be (probably close to the equator) for an interview?
