Following a charity night put on by the Corry boys basketball program on Jan. 4, a Trooper Jacques “Jay” Rougeau Memorial Scholarship Fund has reached a total of roughly $33,000, says Corry Community Foundation Administrative Assistant Shelby Scouten. The current total includes a $10,000 dollar-for-dollar match by CCF.
The basketball charity night itself raised about $3,150.
Nicole Munsee-Lambert of the boys basketball booster said that included a 50/50 raffle, a lottery basket, half of the evening’s concession sales and donations collected — some in person during the event and others online.
“We are very happy with that,” Munsee-Lambert said. “The Corry community’s support for their own is amazing.”
She continued, expressing a thankfulness for the presence of Angela, Rougeau’s mother, and Chloe, his wife.
“We realize they are grieving and empathize with how difficult it must be for them,” Munsee-Lambert noted.
Before the night’s basketball game, Angela and Chloe were presented with one each of Rougeau’s former jerseys (home and away), as he played on the Corry basketball team during high school.
Tyler Bailey, head basketball coach, also felt the event was a success.
“Charity night went very well,” he said. “It was nice to see the community come together to support such a great cause. Jay’s positive impact on the community and the school will always be cherished and remembered.”
The scholarship fund was started by the Corry Area High School Class of 2012 (Rougeau’s classmates) and has since seen support not only from the basketball program but also Corry’s volleyball team during its charity night on Sept. 27, 2023, and Corry Area Intermediate School with a Christmastime coin drive.
The minimum amount to start a scholarship is $25,000, so that initial goal has been surpassed.
