Brothers,
Some may not know about the Driving Jacks program. Brother Jimmy Shields (Spring 1972 Pledge Class) and his wife, Mary, had a daughter, Amy Sheilds. Amy also attended SFA. As an undergraduate, Amy kickstarted the Driving Jacks Program which provides safe rides home to SFA students and the community as a whole. Tragically, and ironically, Amy was hit and killed by a drunk driver while still a student at SFA. Amy’s friends, parents, students, and alumni have kept the program alive in Amy’s memory. Driving Jacks has furnished over 35,000 safe rides home.
Around 30 of us attend the yearly “Tuck Kemper Limp Along Golf Tournament” at Wally & Debbie Scoggin’s house in Seabrook, Texas. We collect money for our Delta Sig/Sawyers Scholarship Fund and also for a rainy-day fund. We had extra money from a rainy-day fund and decided to donate it to the Driving Jacks Program in honor of Jimmy’s daughter, Amy.

The Delta Sig/Driving Jacks check handoff is scheduled for Thursday, April 30th, 10:45 am in front of the Austin Building (steps). A new giant replica of a SFA ring will serve as a backdrop. Jimmy Shields will present the $10,000 check on behalf of all Sigs to the Driving Jacks, with as many Driving Jacks team members as possible. The schedule is tight due to students being between classes.
Several SFA leaders from Alumni and Advancement are invited. Robbie, Scott Goodrich’s wife, will take the picture and hopefully get us in the next Sawdust issue.
It’s a drive and a stretch for most Delta Sigs, but everyone’s welcome to this event. The much-appreciated contribution comes from all Sigs, from all years!
