To Fellow SCU Alumni and Friends of Father Coz:
My name is Steve Erbst, class of ’88. Like many of you, I am a good friend/fan of Father Coz. As I reflect on my SCU experience ranging from playing soccer, being a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, economics classes, and supporting friends through their sporting events, my memories in class, or at games with Fr. Coz are extensive. It seems we could always count on his support as many of us participated in soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, water polo, or rugby. I suspect there is also a common Coz thread among all of us in our post – SCU life with wedding ceremonies and baptisms that have involved Padre.
Five years ago, my goal of creating a scholarship in the name of Fr. Coz became a reality. It has been extremely rewarding seeing the hundreds of Fr. Coz friends join my family in supporting of current students in the name of Fr. Coz. This year the fund has crested the $500,000 mark and awarded its sixth scholarship. Read about this year’s recipients.
What can you do to help?
• Join us for our 5th annual Pause for Coz Celebration on April 16, 2011.
• Spread the word about the Pause for Coz Endowed Scholarship.
• Help us reach our goal of raising over $1,000,000 for the Fr. Coz Endowed Scholarship Fund. By make a 3-year pledge or a gift of any size you will support your class’s effort in meeting the “Million Reasons to Give Challenge” of raising $30,000 per class over the next three years.
I realize that we all contribute in our own way to Santa Clara and/or have other financial commitments, so I sincerely appreciate any support that you could provide to ensure the success of this scholarship.
Sincerest Regards,
Steve Erbst ’88
