Help Lauren’s family reach the goal of $25,000 to memorialize Lauren in perpetuity through the Lauren Teresa Giddings Scholarship Fund. Agnes Scott is accepting both outright gifts and gifts made through the Lauren Teresa Giddings Hit-A-Thon on Saturday, April 9th, 2016 at Agnes Scott College.
Everyone who knew Lauren Teresa Giddings remembers a bright, fun-loving young woman with a happy smile and an open heart. Lauren graduated from Agnes Scott College in 2006 with a degree in Political Science and minor in Religious Studies, and played on the softball team for four years, wearing the number 3. She had just graduated from the School of Law at Mercer University and was studying for the bar exam when her life ended in June 2011.
In memorial, Lauren’s family has established the Lauren Teresa Giddings Scholarship, an endowed scholarship providing tuition support to students with strong academic credentials or a demonstrated need, especially those who are the first in their immediate family to attend college, and those who are interested in pursuing careers in the legal profession or special education. The scholarship must reach $25,000 by June 30 to be endowed and awarded in the 2017-2018 academic year.
The remainder after expenses of all gifts previously given to support the Agnes Scott’s Lauren Giddings Softball Classic, along with concessions funds and proceeds from Agnes Scott’s Lauren Giddings 5K, have been deposited toward this scholarship fund.
To participate in the Lauren Teresa Giddings Hit-A-Thon, please click on "Advocates" above and sign up to share your personal link to this page. The number of pitches you receive in the Hit-A-Thon is based on gifts raised through your personal link. You will have the chance to hit pitched softballs and will be awarded a hit for every time you make contact with the ball. The winners with the most hits will receive a prize. At the Hit-A-Thon, both hitters and spectators will have the chance to purchase raffle tickets – the raffle winners will be selected at the end of the event.
For more information about the Lauren Teresa Giddings Hit-A-Thon, to be held on Saturday, April 9th, 2016 at Agnes Scott College, please contact Head Softball Coach Talya DiGirolamo at tdigirolamo@agnesscott.edu or (404) 471-6475.
Agnes Scott young alumnae, your gifts to this endowed fund will be greatly appreciated but cannot count toward your class’s Mollie Merrick competition standings, as gifts to endowed funds cannot be included in The Fund for Agnes Scott.
Thank you to all the early donors to the Lauren Teresa Giddings Scholarship and the Lauren Giddings Softball Classic, and registrants in the Lauren Giddings 5K:
