Andy Mac is Love Scholarship Details
The Andy MacDonald Fire Services Scholarship is created in loving memory of Andy MacDonald. We honor his devoted aspirations of becoming a firefighter and his commitment to helping those around him by encouraging continued education in the fire service.Andy was a friend, son, brother, and volunteer firefighter who, tragically, lost his life in the November 2006 flooding of the Cowlitz River. Andy was on a hunting trip with his family when the river bank that his car was parked near gave way.Out of tragedy, something good is born; Andy's family and close friends set up a Scholarship in his name. Each November, in honor of Andy's birthday and untimely passing, we hold a soccer game, known affectionately as the "boys vs. girls" game. Fellow teammates and friends of Andy come out to play a charity game. Afterwards the team holds an auction which consists of items donated from local business and personal items that Andy's family and friends contribute. The Andy MacDonald Fire Services Scholarship is set up at the Puget Sound Skills center that Andy attended to get his firefighting training. This scholarship will assist future Cadets in the Puget Sound Skills Center Fire Services class and will send them to an Emergency Medical Technician class. This scholarship will help cover lab fees, needed equipment, travel expenses, and more. His passion in life was to help those in need; this is our way of continueing that tradition.
