John Devlin Football Scholarship

As the anticipated date of the annual Devlin Golf Tournament approaches, I lament the missed opportunity to meet you and to share in the festivities of the event. Whenever a group of individuals comes together to achieve a common goal, that occasion has a particular tone to it. As we share in the camaraderie of the awaited day, I am confident we will be reminded of the wonderful memories with great friends we have made as a result of this program – a program that we are incredibly proud to be a part of.

Distance does not define how close we are to the things in life that are important to us. Instead, we make an effort to keep those important things close through our continued efforts of reaching out to maintain that fundamental connection. Although we are unable to come together this year, “Let’s Pull Together.” Let’s do what Huskies do. Let’s find a way.

FaceTime with your foursome. Zoom a chip and putt contest. Or better yet, Skype a long-drive contest with a cold beverage. Let’s pull together and keep the Devlin Scholarship growing. A total of 117 football players have benefited from the nearly $200,000 that has been raised over the years. Those are numbers that would jump off any “stat” sheet, and a lot of wins are a result of your collective efforts. The Devlin family is both humbled and grateful for the continued support and recognition in the honoring of John Devlin.

We all take great pride in being a part of the Bloomsburg University Football family! Please continue to be involved, and please, “Let’s Pull Together.” There is strength in numbers, and there is still work to be done to achieve the goals of the program. Your 2020 contribution will directly support those goals and will benefit the next 117 Devlin Scholarship recipients! On behalf of the Devlin family and the Bloomsburg University Football program, we applaud your efforts and thank you for your continued generosity.

Go Huskies!

Stay safe and healthy,
