Gents,

See below – the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children went live today.  This would be a great way to show support.  Also, I spoke with Chris Carrera this morning.  He is starting a generous scholarship at Penn in Beau’s name.  Still working out details, but that also will be one hell of a tribute to our friend.  I think we also should ask Penn to credit all of the classes Beau skipped for trips to Saratoga.  Probably get a year-and-a-half’s worth of tuition out of it.

Please feel free to forward to those who loved him.

Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children
New charity created to carry on Biden's life work

WILMINGTON, DE -- Hallie Biden and the Delaware Community Foundation announced this morning the creation of a new charity -- the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children -- to continue Beau Biden's life passion: protecting the most vulnerable among us.

"I’ve known Beau since he was a child, and everyone in Delaware knows about his passion for helping and protecting innocent children," said Fred Sears, President and CEO of the Delaware Community Foundation. "It’s an honor for us to be part of establishing his legacy with the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children."

The Foundation will stand up and speak out for those in the greatest need of a voice. In Beau Biden's words:

“We have seen the progress that can be made when society commits to shining a bright light on a crime like domestic violence, and we are seeing the beginning of what can be accomplished if we continue shining that bright light on child abuse,” he wrote. “As adults, we have a legal and moral obligation to stand up and speak out for children who are being abused – they cannot speak for themselves.”

Donations are being accepted at www.beaubidenfoundation.org<http://www.beaubidenfoundation.org/> and more information is available there.

This is a terrible loss.  Thanks for the note and for all the good words expressed here.  Beau was a friend, brother and a unique individual who we all knew possessed a natural ability to serve and lead the country on a national level.  It was hardwired in Beau's DNA to help people...  As brothers, let's work together to help his family and honor his name.

YITB,

Richard

Michael,

Can you put a charitable trust together for Hallie an the kids?  Or what is the best way to do this?  I think Dan is thinking appropriately here.  Our entire britherhood should be focused there as opposed to anywhere else.

I'll be putting my money and my family money towards the support of his immediate family.

Nobody should assume that they'll be just fine.

Agree, but put it forth Danny.  If she and her children are in need, that should have been our focus from the get go.  My assumption was there would have been a healthy insurance policy..  If that is not the case then our entire ficus should be on her and the children.

When everyone sits back and says nothing, does nothing it is just awful...

You guys are hysterical to watch.

One of Beau's favorite phrases was 'charity begins at home'.

How about Hallie and the kiddos.  Why so Castle focused?

Hey. Before we get too high up in a tree, I think we were working our way to a decision on what an appropriate gift would be. I like the scholarship idea and would definitely support it. I'd also hope we could dedicate it at an appropriate time when a maximum number of us could make it.

It sounds like Phil is underway with the former and I saw some emails on a possible dedication ceremony around homecoming. I'm in for both and will help organize.

Wow, we had one of ours die.  The world is mourning the loss of a great man.  Are we going to make an effort?  Do anything?  Is our class response a collective yawn?  Do we need to rely on Carera, Tobias, milt, etc to do something?  I didn't know Beau any better or worse than any of you.  Are we going to make an effort to show up on Sarurday?  Do we want to pitch in?  I will.  Let me know Michael...

Dear Dan, Guymon, Bill, Eric,Steve, Michael, Michael, Jim, Kammy, David, Austin, Richard, David, Tad, and Eric,

After hearing the news last night about Beau's passing away, I have been thinking of each of you.  I hope that you know that many of us here at Penn and all around the world are grieving.  Since I first met each of you in the Chapter Room of the Castle on the evening of your initiation, I have valued being your adviser.

Please accept my condolences for your loss of such a wonderful friend.  As always, you are welcome to contact me if there is anything that I can ever do for you and your families.

With great sadness and great affection,
Your adviser,
Dr. Sam
