In 2007, I lost one of my best friends to a rare form of Lymphoma. At only 21, it struck me and everyone who knew him incredibly hard. He was absolutely irreplaceable, and left a huge mark in the short time he was here. Terribly enough, as unique as Maxx was, this situation is not unique at all. The battle against cancer is one so many have to fight.
I have been wanting to do something ever since, but just never quite knew what to do. But his parents just started The Maxx H. Wendell Scholarship, and I would love to help fund it. To do that, I am having some shirts printed. I am paying for all of the up-front costs, and every cent that comes in will go towards the scholarship in Maxx's name.
"The Maxx H. Wendell Scholarship, will provide $500 (or more) for the purchase of books to each of three male students (sophomores and above) majoring in the Humanities or Natural Sciences who demonstrate financial need and have a 3.5 GPA."
It is a modest goal, and I think we can take care of it easily enough. I am starting small with this, but I have many more ideas in my head and if the response is good on this, I'd love to take this as far as it can go. Getting artists to create other shirt designs, getting this project on a bigger site etc. If we can help fund the scholarship, and then continue to raise money, their are plenty of deserving charities out there where we can donate the money in Maxx's name, and in the name of all our loved ones. Wherever this takes us, I will be absolutely up front about every thing, most importantly where the money would be going.
Thank you for visiting, it means a lot.
