Fallen Tiger's Family Needs Your Help
Aug 25, 2014, 10:36 AM
|
|
My Uncle, Scott Flowers 41, died August 14, 2014 in a horrific car accident in Greenville on his way to work. He was a die hard Clemson Fan that left behind 3 beautiful kids, Keaton 18, Kaitlyn 15 and Kinsely 7. As we get ready to kick-off this season of Clemson Football I challenge each of you to go check out his Memorial site and donate $1, this site was created with a goal in mind to put his kids thru college. I know with the Tiger Nation's help and support we can reach this goal. Please share this story with as many people as you possible can. This may be a long shot, but if anyone has any connections with stadium marketing, maybe we could get them to do a piece for this family during halftime??
Here a link to the story:

Thanks and God Bless,

Thanks to all that has contributed so far, I know everyone on this site loves the Tiger's just as much as my Uncle did. Please share his story on your Facebook, Twitter, or any social media platform. A donation of any amount can put us one step closer to paying for these kids education. If anybody is in the Anderson-Greenville Area I will be planning a Golf Tournament as well in the near future before it gets to cold, more details to come...
Thanks,
Brandon

As we get ready to open up another great year of Clemson Football I ask that we not forget how precious life on this earth truly is. I am calling all Tiger Fan's near and far to please continue to share my Uncle's story. I have setup a memorial fund for his 3 kids education and with your help and donations of ANY amount we can take away some of their financial burdens. Uncle Scott was above all a family man, and one of the biggest Clemson fans I had the pleasure to know. This Saturday won't be the same without him.

tried to make a donation, but didn't seem to work...

Went to the link and completely filled out the first page (name, email, dollar amount, etc) and clicked the Continue button, but nothing happened. Tried several times. I guess I was expecting another screen to pop up for debit/credit card info. Is that how it works? Or do I wait for an email reply for another link or something? Please advise...

Oh no that was your uncle in so sorry to hear that! My family owns a business right where it happened and some of us saw it and went running to the crash site. It was horrific and devastating. Innocent man taken to soon. I'm so so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family during these tough times. I will donate. God bless.

You'd think a posting like this on TigerNet would blow up the fund for this family. Less than a thousand bucks after 2 weeks? Jeez Louise, that's embarrassing. Dinner for two at Rick Erwin's will set you back 2 bills...
Imagine if this was your wife and kids...

Sorry for the confusion regarding the minimum donation amount it is $5, the site will not let me change/ modify this.
Here is an image from this past weekend. The whole family got together to watch the game and the boys decided to pay Uncle Scott a little tribute Clemson Tiger style!
