Last year was a rousing success. UD was rightfully humbled as according to prophecy and we raised over $3,000 for Brian's memorial fund that kept many Xavier students in school. Plus, a massive amount of beer was consumed by all.
Pablo’s “feelings” towards UD have been well documented and will be dissected by historian’s/religious scholars for years to come. We thought it would be great to honor Brian by toasting him on this night of nights and drinking a beer or two (or eight) at Dana’s right before the XU/UD game on 2/18. The cost is $10 (plus $1 per beer domestic & $2 import after that) and you get a cup that magically replenishes itself with beer!
PLUS, BJ WILL HAVE A SHOT SPECIAL ($2 washington apples) for anyone who gets the magical “no watermelons” stamp!
All proceeds will go to “The Brian McCormick Memorial Fund” at Xavier. This fund helps keep financially strapped XU students in school regardless of their academic record. Brian always wanted to start a fund like this. Through your generosity, over 60 students are still in school/graduated thanks to Brian - and this is only just the beginning! Think of all the good things and how the world will benefit from these future Xavier graduates!
We will soon list some cool Xavier items/gear for auction on E-bay. All will have a buy it now price and make great gifts to those XU fanatics you love, or for the one you love most (you!)
Join us. You know Brian would be (and will be) there! I guarantee it will be a blast and no watermelons will be allowed on the premises!
