On January 26, 1995 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Kevin Eric Reichardt was tragically gunned down as he rode his bicycle near the campus of UNC. Kevin's death shattered the lives of his family, his friends and his teammates.

In an effort to channel their grief into a living tribute to Kevin, several of Kevin's high school teammates together with Kevin's family and friends created Kevin Reichardt's Scholar-Athlete Championship Fund. This scholarship fund honors the memory of Kevin to perpetuate and reinforce the positive virtues he embodied. Those virtues include excellence in academics, athletics, leadership, school spirit and respect and compassion for others.

A nationwide outpouring of support for "Making Kevin's Spirit Live On" is being carried into corporate boardrooms and throughout the halls of colleges and universities.

The scholarship funds will be used to help put scholar-athletes, in Kevin's image and likeness, through college.
