Audrey Lupton Endowed Scholarship
Audrey Lupton touched many lives during her 17 years, and one community that was fortunate to be part of that special circle of friends was the Indianapolis Rowing Juniors team. As coach Mike wrote when he had the difficult task of telling the IRC community of Audrey’s death in July, “While she was very much a lightweight when it came to rowing, her battle with cancer over the last few months showed that behind the small frame was the heart and spirit of a true competitor. Audrey has shown us that we each have so much more fight in us that we can ever imagine.”
To honor Audrey’s spirit and to continue her example of making the world a better place, the IRC board has established the Audrey Lupton Endowed Scholarship to help ensure that money is never a barrier to participation in the sport of rowing. To that end, the Indianapolis Rowing Center is hosting the 2nd Annual Lup Lup Gallup 5K at Eagle Creek on October 20th, 2018. You can register now by following the link above. Feel free to bring your dogs as well as a tribute to Audrey.
When fully funded, the scholarship will be awarded annually to support rowers with financial needs. We believe that rowing is transformational. Through rowing kids and adults not only develop fitness and friendships, but lifelong skills of discipline, collaboration, and leadership. Audrey exemplified the core values of IRC, and we hope that the scholarship is an enduring legacy to Audrey’s memory.
You may give online on the IRC website http://www.indyrowing.org/donate (select endowment fund) or by check mailed to: Indianapolis Rowing Center, PO Box 53223, Indianapolis, IN 46253. IRC can also accept gifts of stock and other securities. All gifts are eligible for IRS charitable donation deductions.
