Susan & Dick Cooke Baseball Scholarship

The Susan and Dick Cooke Baseball Scholarship, started by Jack Purcell ’02, and his wife, Neely, will support students and aid in the recruitment of top talent for the ’Cats. The Purcell family’s significant leadership investment in the scholarship is step one. Already, former players and others close to the Cookes have made additional gifts totaling more than $625,000, and the goal of this effort is to grow the fund and help baseball reach its goal to become a fully-funded program.
