Some people leave a lasting impact not just through what they accomplish, but through the way they treat others, support their teammates, and represent their community.
To honor Jerry and the difference he made in so many lives, a couple teammates have established a scholarship endowment in his name. This scholarship will help future football student athletes for years to come while keeping Jerry’s legacy alive.
We are asking friends, family, former teammates, classmates, and community members to consider making a donation to the scholarship fund. No gift is too small, and every contribution helps grow this endowment and continue the impact Jerry had on those around him.
If Jerry made a difference in your life, this is a meaningful way to honor his memory and support future generations in his name.
Thank you for helping us celebrate and remember Jerry through this lasting legacy. ❤️
To make a gift online please visit MinotStateu.edu/give and select the Jerry Obenauer Scholarship Endowment under the designation tab.
