Stanley Robinson Memorial Fund

Sorry if this has been posted, thought it deserved its own thread. Someone started a GOFUNDMEPAGE to help his parents pay for his funeral. Here is a link for anyone interested in helping out. Go Fund Me Page for Stick's funeral

Thanks for posting this. Time for boneyarders to step up.

The fund is still a little over 1000 to reach its goal. Let’s go Husky fans! Let’s do our part.

I donated directly to the funeral home per an earlier post. Hope that was also a correct option.

Happy to donate but realistically Calhoun or Kemba should have offered to front this entire thing.

In addition to that, this tweet was being shared prior to the gofundme being set up and I think what @salvagedsam's post is alluding to:


So it seems like there was some misinformation going around and people may have contributed in other ways before this was set up.

This is the same GoFundMe that was out there initially, some concern it wasn’t tied to the family at first, but since it has been Chief00-like Confirmed that you can donate to it or directly to the funeral home (also noted in the GoFundMe).

Sorry boys - my approach is way off sometimes. I didn’t think a little nudge would make some go bonkers, and was just trying to spur some donations. Sometimes you gotta light a fire. And when I said I threw a few bucks, it was literally a few. I’m basically broke myself! I will zip it like the putz I am, and thank you @MTHusky for drawing attention to the fund. Seriously, I apologize.

Both ways to donate are legit. stanley’s uncle set up the go fund me.

In my book, you became a BY'er today. Never easy to ask for forgiveness but many here have had to do it. Myself included (several times a year). Takes a man to admit he was wrong. Well done, XL.

I knew it was legit early on when he was listed as donating $200.

There was a post IDing the name of the funeral home and their phone number. That’s where I called. The woman I spoke with at the funeral home seemed on the ‘up and up’. Hopefully that’s the case.

A Husky for life and beyond.

You just made me realize why I'm here - because I love UConn hoops like everyone else here. We are friends and family. I should act like it.

Bumping as this post got pretty low on the first page. No pressure to donate if you can't but thought bringing it to the top of the page for another day or two was the right thing to do.

I missed this first pass, thanks.

Cheers to this room's founding father. Wow.
