Blazers honor Kevin Duckworth with Memorial Scholarship Fund

By J.E. Skeets

Just wanted as many eyes to see this as possible ...

In partnership with The Oregon Community Foundation, the Portland Trail Blazers have established the Kevin Duckworth Memorial Scholarship Fund, Trail Blazers President Larry Miller announced Friday.

Scholarships will be awarded annually in Duckworth's honor to graduating high school seniors within Oregon and SW Washington to help finance college or professional training.

"Kevin left behind a legacy of generosity," Miller said. "This scholarship honors that legacy by allowing Kevin to continue to better the lives of people in our community for many years to come."

Fans interested in making a tax-deductible donation to the fund should send their contributions directly to:

OCF's Kevin Duckworth Memorial Scholarship Fund
1221 SW Yamhill St., Suite 100
Portland, OR 97205

(Thanks to le basketbawl for the heads up.)
