I found out just recenty that one of the patients in our office had lost his son to the tornado that hit the University of Alabama in 2011.
- His story was written up in the Richmond Times-Dispatch (read the article here).
- Turning tragedy into something positive - the family and Alabama alumni have set up a scholarship fund to honor Marcus. Read more about Marcus and the scholarship fund. There is an article about Marcus and a picture of Micah, his older brother, accepting his diploma in August. There is a link at the bottom of the page for contributions.
Help spread the word about the Marcus Smith Memorial Scholarship by purchasing and wearing a wristband. Proceeds go to support the scholarship fund. The wristbands sell for $5 each. The colors are the University of Alabama colors and the wristbands are made of very sturdy rubber. They will fit almost any size wrist. These can be purchased by sending an email to
jsmith@parkerpollard.com. (Marcus' mother).
