Mark R. Solomon Scholarship Fund

In memory of Mark Solomon’s legacy at Walsh College, one of Mark’s former students is issuing a challenge to increase the size of the Mark R. Solomon Endowed Scholarship Fund. This donor will match fifty cents for each dollar donated to the Solomon Scholarship Fund between now and June 30, 2013. The donor hopes that 100 donors will contribute $100 each, to raise $10,000 so that he can contribute $5,000, adding a total of $15,000 to the Scholarship Fund to honor Mark. If you wish to make a gift online, please visit walshcollege.edu/giving/MarkSolomon.
