Leedy Scholarship Fund

Help us reach our goal and beyond!
Give to Leedy Fund

Here is a great opportunity all of us can take advantage of in helping future sports, recreation, and fitness ministers gain academic and conference scholarships.

WHAT IS IT?
The Leedy Scholarship Fund assists students in preparation for sports, recreation, and fitness ministries. In the past, the Association for Church Sports and Recreation Ministers has conducted a golf tournament to fund the scholarship. The 2018 Tournament did not occur due to the transition of leadership in CSRM

This year we are operating a giving campaign to raise funds for students to gain scholarships toward their ministry calling. Many will use these funds toward a Master's Degree in Sports Ministry offered by our very own AGON Institute. Other students may apply for funds toward attending the ReachGathering Workshop for Sports, Recreation, and Fitness ministers.

The Leedy Scholarship was created to honor the legacy of Jim Leedy, who cared deeply about young people and used athletics as a tool through which to share his faith. Jim was a successful husband, father, businessman, leader, and servant of Christ. Jim was passionate about educating, equipping, and inspiring others. This event honors Jim and his legacies.

​ABOUT JIM LEEDY
Love for God, love for family, and love for others was Jim's motto. Beyond that, basketball ruled! While he loved all sports, basketball was his favorite. He was on the high school team, then the college team. From there he went on to play on church teams for many years. Basketball was in his blood! As he got older, he played to exercise and to minister to young players. He often told his wife, "I'm exercising for you so that I will be a healthy old man." She doesn't think that was his only motivation, and sadly, he didn't get to be that healthy older man.
Jim loved God. He loved helping people whether it was with his time or his money, and he loved playing basketball. Jim was actively involved in sports outreach at his church. He was committed to seeing young men become involved in the local church. That is why he believed in CSRM. CSRM was where it all came together. Through CSRM, he realized he could do all three: serve God, help others, and play basketball. And that is what this scholarship is about; assisting people in finding God while they have fun playing sports. It seems that God let him leave this world doing what he loved so much: using his skills in basketball while at the same time introducing young men to his Savior. What a way to go!

We honor Jim's memory by offering this scholarship to those people who will carry on this legacy.
​Thank you for your prayer support and for what God leads you to do financially.​
