Scholarship fund for Mike's remaining siblings:
http://www.gofundme.com/d1rprkBefore he was shot by a police officer last week, Mike Brown was a
college-bound young man, about to start classes at Vatterott College.
His mom worked hard to get him there, and when he died she told the New
York Times, "Do you know how hard it was for me to get him to stay in
school and graduate? You know how many black men graduate?"
Let's honor Mike's legacy-- and his mom's hard work-- by helping his two younger sisters and his brother make it to college too.
Please donate to build a Mike Brown College Scholarship.
The
Scholarship is being matched by an anonymous donation from a
university that has pledged a full, debt-free ride to Mike's siblings,
if they attend that institution.
