Fairmont State Foundation, Inc.

Hello & Welcome, friend!

As most of you know, my brilliant and beloved baby brother, Bradley Shaffer, passed away suddenly on November 1, 2019. No matter how or when or why you came to know my brother during his brief time on this Earth, I am certain that you must have seen how special a young man he truly was- bright, intuitive, and a true force of nature for the things & the people he cared about most. Above all, he was a fiercely loyal friend with an impossibly generous spirit. He was the guy who would answer his phone at 2am & come to drive you home right away- no questions asked. If you had nowhere else to go, he would offer up his home without a second thought & then make sure to get you a good meal once you got there- just because he knew you needed it but wouldn’t have wanted to ask.

My family and I were all incredibly moved when we learned that one of Bradley’s former instructors from Fairmont State University hadset up a scholarship fund in his memory. Although it is currently designated as a one-time award, that is open to potential change. We would truly love to see enough money raised for his scholarship fund to allow the award to be offered on a recurring basis, which would allow my brother’s legacy to carry on and directly impact that many more students who would benefit from it.

This page is raising money to benefit the Bradley Parker Shaffer Memorial Scholarship which is being offered through the Fairmont State Foundation, Inc. to a student in the Occupational Sciences. Any donation you can contribute will help make an impact! Thank you in advance for helping us honor Bradley’s life and legacy by contributing to this scholarship fund.

And thank you for loving him while he was here with us.

Love & Peace To You All,
Emily
(& the rest of the Shaffer family! )
