1LT Laura Walker Memorial Handball Tournament Fund
Donation protected
Laura’s dad, Kieth, is stepping down as president of the WPSDC. The DC society is planning to present to the West Point Women's Team Handball Team a one-time donation from the Society in Keith's name to support their annual 1LT Laura Walker Memorial Team Handball Tournament. The cutoff for donations is SEP 1, 2020.
The tournament has been struggling for funding these past few years and figured we, as a class, could do our part to make a contribution. From the current OIC - “A few years ago none of the other women’s teams signed up for the Laura Walker Tournament due to the cost, so we’ve worked pretty hard at reducing the costs and we’ve made part of it a Brigade Open (cadet teams playing other cadet teams). Primary expenses are Awards/Trophies ~$150, Referee costs ~$800. Referee costs vary quite a bit based on which referees are available and their travel costs.”
I think it’d be fitting for USMA 2003 to come through big for our classmates legacy.
