Loftin just tweeted it. That should really spread the word.

Anyone with contacts in the letterman's association?

I'm in.

Best wishes to the Villavisencio family. I'm very saddened by your loss. He sounds like a great son and young man. I wish I would have had the pleasure to meet him.

Count me in

A scholarship, and a Heisman trophy winner paying tribute during his acceptance speech.

We will NEVER forget you Joey!

Remembering Joey V and the family. I will donate toward a scholarship fund.

Johnny convinced me. Donated.

How perfect is it that a guy named Bath Salts on Texags is instrumental in something so important? I love this place!

Joey V.

Donated $67 for #67

I got a little choked up when he mentioned Joey, what a great way to honor his teammate. I love this university. Let's make sure we honor Joey appropriately!

Want to put this back on top

Donated.

Bath Salts, can you explain how the scholarship would work if do meet the $25k minimum?

I think once you get $25k, they use the accrued earnings to fund scholarships.

This is why I love A&M.

Good bull, Ags.

Keeping you in our memories, Joey V.

Howdy Ags!

Just an update here. Pushing 500 followers on twitter, and over 250 on Facebook. Please continue to tell friends about this effort. Looking forward to a status update from the Foundation, and we'll be sure to spread the word on any progress!

God bless you, Aggies. God bless.

Any money past the 25k mark would be added to the principle that doesn't get touched (this allows the scholarship to support itself permanently). The further we get past the mark, the bigger the impact it can have on one or more aggies in the future.

Also, if you haven't contributed yet, now might be a good time. You can find instructions on how to give on the first page of the thread, or here: joeyvfund.blogspot.com

Why isn't this thread still stickies to the top? Was hoping to keep it up top till the cotton bowl (thru the giving season) or we reached $25k.

This dropped to page 3. Is this idea finished?

Bump for update.

post on p1 updated, ttt

This idea is far from finished... it's in full swing! Not sure why it got take from the top, but we are working with the Villavisencio family to get info out there, Twittering and Facebooking like crazy, and hoping for an update from the Foundation today on how much has been raised. Keep bumping I guess, but this is DEFINITELY NOT OVER.

We've been fortunate to see retweets about the fundraiser from JFF and the Bow Tie among others. Friends and those who knew Joey V are welcome to post some good memories on the Facebook page as well!

bump; following on FB and here, c'mon staff!

vote for staff to resticky this thread on top.

We've actually made some good progress over the weekend. I think this thread just got overshadowed by that other big news Story. Didn't somebody win an award of some kind?

Seriously, let's not let this project fall by the wayside.
