As the Fighting Irish prepare to compete for the National Championship for the first time since 1988, an anonymous Notre Dame alum has issued a $5,000 matching gift opportunity in support the Declan Drumm Sullivan Memorial Fund. As you probably remember, Declan is the student that was tragically killed just over two years ago while filming the Notre Dame football team. This opportunity is meant to encourage readers of ND Nation to remember and celebrate Declan’s life in these last few weeks before the big game. To make a gift, please visit this link

As you may have seen, yesterday there was an article about Declan, the Sullivan family and Horizons for Youth in the New York Times

There is no question that Declan’s tragedy had an impact on this football team. The Sullivan family story is one of forgiveness and Declan’s Memorial Fund is now bringing positive change to lives several of Chicago’s deserving youth. Let’s take this opportunity to help them.
