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 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.
Kevin set and achieved high
goals in his short life. Kevin Reichardt's scholar-Athlete Championship
Fund has a goal of raising revenue for college
scholarships and high school awards.
As more funds are raised, we look forward to awarding additional
scholarships.
