Timothy Jenks
I wanted to ask the team for thoughts or ideas on how we could recognize Timothy Jenks at IMLP. I could get some stickers made for our helmets as a thought. Let's come up with something super cool for the Jenks family.

Timothy Jenks Memorial Fund
Friends: Many of you sent donations to us at the time of Timothy’s funeral or have otherwise participated in something that said funds would go to Timothy’s Memorial.
We met with the principal of Ames Middle School and head coaches from Ames Soccer Club and Ames Cyclone Aquatics Club. We have agreed to establish a Timothy Jenks Memorial Scholarship for graduating 8th graders at Ames Middle School. We hope it will be a way to honor the way Tim lived and help inspire some others with the important life transition he was about to make.
The award will recognize graduating 8th grade students who live life with passion, participate vigorously in extracurricular activities (sports, music, etc), and demonstrate the willingness to apply that passion to what they do as they move into high school. We hope the recipients will use the award to help fund those passions, whether to buy a piece of sports equipment, a new musical instrument, attend an important camp related to their activities, or some similar expense. The size and number of awards will depend on the success of our fund raising; award administration will be done by the school.
The funds donated in Timothy's memory will be set aside in a Foundation account to be managed independently of the family. The Foundation account will be set up shortly. In the meantime, the Jenks family will receive funds designated for the "Timothy Jenks Memorial Fund" and see that they are put into the account when it is set up in the very near future.
