HOMER JACOBS SCHOLARSHIP EVENT

COLLEGE STATIONThe family of the late 12th Man Magazine editor Homer Jacobs would like to invite media and friends of Homer to come spend some time with Homer's family and friends on Sunday, Apr. 19 at 6 p.m. at the Grand Stafford Theater (106 S. Main St., Bryan, TX 77803). This is a chance to celebrate his life and legacy and is quite appropriate as Aggie Muster is on the horizon.

All proceeds from the event will be added to the Texas A&M scholarship endowment that has been created in Homer's memory.

Jacobs, who served as the editor of 12th Man Magazine for 19 years, died unexpectedly on Aug. 26, 2014. The 1987 graduate of Texas A&M devoted much of his professional career to writing about Aggie sports teams, and his presence in the media rooms and press boxes in College Station made him a fixture in Aggieland.



Reservations (or donations) can be made by visiting:
http://grandstaffordtheater.com/event/fundraiser-for-homer-jacobs-scholarship-fund/

Appetizers from Outback Steakhouse (included) and a cash bar will be available. Even if you are unable to attend, please consider contributing to Homer's scholarship fund by clicking on the link above. RSVPs are needed by Wednesday, April 15.

Thank you for helping make this a special event for Homer's family. If you have any questions about the event, please email friendsofhomerjacobs@gmail.com.
