David
Nathan Simon was a son, brother, friend, and special influence
on people scattered worldwide.
He was only 22 when he was tragically killed in an accident at
O'Hare Airport in Chicago in 1993.
David had graduated from Bradley University three months prior
to his death. He had already accomplished much and had touched
many. At the time of his death, David was making the transition
to a career, marriage, and all of the things that are expected
after graduation.
What is the goal of the Scholarship?
Bradley University played a large part in David's growth and
development. The best way to keep David's memory alive is to
help others to help themselves.
To this end, the administrators at Bradley University choose
four scholarship recipients each year.. The administrators use
their knowledge of the applicants, an essay from the applicant,
and a profile of David's traits to help make their decision.
A student does not need to be a 4.0 student. Rather - he or she
must put all they have into school work and the opportunities
that college provides...just as David did.
How does it work?
Your tax deductible donation is added to the principal in an
interest bearing account held at Cole Taylor Bank. When fully
endowed, the fund will generate interest income based on the
principal. The principal will never be withdrawn, the interest
generated will actually fund the David N. Simon Scholarship
every year.
Would you like to help the fund but cannot attend the
golf outing?
