Time for the MU community to rally

[Bo Ryan's Massage Therapist]

I have heard from those in the MU community that the outpouring of support for our brother and modern day martyr James foley has been amazing. I encourage all those able to to attend the memorial Tuesday . James was one year before me and an active member of the Marquette community, a rugby player all 4 years at MU. Lets rally around the family and attend the memorial and donate to the new James Foley scholarship.  Scoop is great for many reasons.  Let's donate as a community.  If anyone close to the family has an address that we can write letters to, I encourage all to do it whether we personally knew James or not.  I know I've been personally touched by his heroism.  This is what makes the MU community unlike any other.  Who is with me during this time of tragedy ?

Easy link to the Jim Foley Scholarship to share: GO.MU.EDU/Remember-Foley.

Coach Wojo was just kind enough to RT the Tweet I sent to him. He's the best, so happy he is our Coach.

If you are on Twitter, please take a moment and cut and past this and Tweet it in an effort to get this "trending." Anderson Cooper also tweeted it out to his 5.2 Million followers.

Marquette just emailed the organizers of the James Foley Scholarship with great news. There's been a great deal of media and social media support. The university is very optimistic that with the publicity surrounding this and outpouring of generosity that we can make this scholarship strong.

Nice work Mike. Question though - the link you posted in this post is different than what Hold the Mayo posted in original post.  Can you clarify if they are one in the same...or if we need to focus efforts more centrally?

Lastly - don't forget to Tweet at your boy Bill O'Reilly.

I saw that too.

It takes the person to MU's front page that has a section on Foley albeit you have to look for it below the main pic.

The mistake I made was using uppercase letters. Apparently I should have only only used lower case letters.

But the link is ok with lowercase: go.mu.edu/remember-foley

I'd like to think people can find the link. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks for the responses.

Ners: I'd like to think Bill O would help, actually.

If you are talking about THE Bill O, he would likely help.  I can put a word into Fox if that helps, let me know.  No promises.

Thanks for the clarification on link to use Mike.  Donation made.  You or Chicos should reach out to Bill O'Reilly - I don't doubt for a second he'd help via a tweet, on air mention, and perhaps donation as well.  Keep up the good work Mike...wish I could make memorial Tuesday night, but have a significant business expansion rolling out this upcoming week to where it is just too prohibitive to be away as there are multiple contractors lined up for installations this week that I need to be present for.

Any exposure is huge. I'd like to think Bill O would help a fellow Irish Catholic. If key media figured could just Tweet alone that'd be huge. Anderson Cooper was a massive help. Jim's brother is incredibly thoughtful and articulate.

Link worked to MU.edu, just not directly to donate page so should have been ok for a few hours. Thanks for pointing out use of CAPS affected the destination.

Again the link in lower caps: go.mu.edu/remember-foley WILL WORK directly. Other still went to MU.edu which was plastered with info but direct one is definitely better.

Chicos, thank you. Sincerely.

I'm sending it out tonight to the folks at FOX L.A....hopefully it is something they can get to O'Reilly.  Stay tuned
