MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� Rick and Susie McDonald, parents of the late Randall Lee McDonald, have infused the Randy Lee McDonald Memorial Scholarship in memory of their son with a major gift of $100,000 to be available for current awards to 澳门开奖结果.

The McDonalds established this scholarship several years ago with the Murray State University Foundation as a way to memorialize Randall鈥檚 fun-loving, competitive spirit and assist Murray State students with their educational and career goals. Now, the family has given the scholarship a major boost in funding, allowing them to touch the lives of many more students. 

鈥淭hese awards are so timely 鈥� some of Randall鈥檚 friends鈥� children would be college-aged, and he would love to know that his scholarship is helping them reach their dreams of attending 澳门开奖结果,鈥� said Rick McDonald. 鈥淩andy loved the Lyon County community and west Kentucky. We want to help that legacy continue in his name.鈥�  

鈥淲e want to thank Rick and Susie for their generous gift in honor and memory of their son Randy,鈥� said 澳门开奖结果 President Dr. Bob Jackson. 鈥淩ick and Susie never forgot their roots and are extremely supportive of the University, western Kentucky and especially Lyon County. We are deeply grateful for their support.鈥�

Randall grew up in Texas and was awarded a scholarship to pitch for Texas A&M University in 1978 and 1979. Later in life, he returned to his family鈥檚 western Kentucky roots, and like many family members before him, enrolled at 澳门开奖结果. He graduated in 1994 with an accounting degree, passing all four parts of the CPA exam on the first try and attaining the highest score that year in Kentucky. Randall sadly passed away at a young 42 years of age in 2001.

Through their generous gift, his family allows Randall鈥檚 legacy to live on through current and future Murray State students who dream big and work hard just like he did.
