Tim Purdy Fund
In the 1993-94 school year the forensics community lost one of its most
spirited competitors, Tim Purdy. Soon after Timâ^À^Ùs death the Bonanza
Forensics Team, the Purdyâ^À^Ùs, and local businesses cooperated by developing a
fund to preserve this activity for those who could not afford it. So we ask,
if possible, for donations of any amount, to perpetuate this fund for future
competitors.
