Shon Coleman Fund

"I am currently stationed on Camp Bondsteel," the note said. "I will be making a 25 km road march hosted by the Danish Army called the Dancon. About a month ago when the initial news of Auburn signee, Shon Coleman, having cancer came out, I started a tribute fund with St. Jude with his mother's permission. In a matter of 3 weeks time I have raised about $7,600.00 in honor of Shon for research at St. Jude. I have been trying to spread the word around and set a goal of $10,000.00 for the fund. This has been a rather grassroots effort of me promoting to family, friends, auburn message boards, etc. I thought maybe with some bigger exposure to not just SEC rival fans but fans of college football around the nation we could make a huge, huge impact for children fighting against this terrible disease. This fund bears Shon Coleman's name, but the fund reaches far beyond that and I would really love to get any and everyone that I can involved."

Impressive ...

I mean here’s a guy writting about the Washington Huskies and he takes time to write a great article about Shon Coleman and Josiah Greene’s effort to help him.

I also like that Coach Chizik took time to write Greene a letter of appreciation and encouragement for what he’s doing. For him to do that with all the other things on his plate, just reinforces that Auburn’s program is about family.
Good post Xotus, and we’re still praying for Shon.
