From Tom Pickel, 11/29/07. Should we try to raise these funds over Christmas?
A couple of years ago (can it really be that long?) I posted a message about raising donations to purchase a paving brick in Kevin’s memory for the plaza outside the new basketball arena on the St. Louis University campus. At that time the arena was still just being talked about. However, the building is now well under construction and the Billikens will start the 2008-09 season in their new home.
Since the building is finally becoming a reality I wanted to again check and see who might be interested in contributing. The basic brick is $500 and I think that would be appropriate since Kevin usually sat up in the cheap seats (unless he got a freebie down below). I already have $100 in pledges. Any contributions will be appreciated.
Checks should be made out to St. Louis University; add Chaifetz Arena on the memo line. You can send the check to me at 914 Buena Vista Ave., St. Louis, MO, 63105 and I will bundle them for delivery. Contributions are tax deductible. I had in mind a simple inscription such as, “The Friends of Kevin Kipp” but suggestions are welcome.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to everyone!
Tom Pickel
