Local ’93 Alumna Wins Big East Fan Contest
Lisa Kelly ’93 has won Volvo’s “Biggest Fan of the Big East” contest after receiving an outpouring of votes from fellow alumni and Notre Dame fans.
Kelly, who competed on Notre Dame’s behalf, won a flight to New York City last week courtesy of Volvo, allowing her to cheer on the Irish in this year’s Big East Tournament
“They had a video crew follow me around for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon and interview me about the competition,” she said. “Then at halftime of the Big East Championship game they brought me down to center court, where they presented me with the keys to the Volvo S60!”
Kelly edged her fellow competitors in part thanks to her strong online presence, which includes a
Notre Dame fan blog as well as a
Twitter account she used to update friends and fellow fans. She also got an assist from Fighting Irish Digital Media, which posted videos of her returning to campus to watch the Irish
defeat No. 1 Syracuse — an upset she predicted — and to show off her
favorite spots.
“I have always loved Notre Dame ever since I can remember,” Kelly wrote on her
contest profile page. “My Dad is a Notre Dame alum, and ever since I was a kid we made the trek back to Notre Dame for football games. Then I myself attended Notre Dame, and my love for Notre Dame grew even more. Today I am what I guess you would call a Notre Dame fanatic!”
3rd Annual Trivia Night ... Thank You!!
A big THANKS to everyone who came out to our Third Annual Trivia Night in Support of the Notre Dame Club's Scholarship Fund. We are happy to be able to help financially needy students to be able to afford a Notre Dame education, and also fund the Club's other charitable efforts including Rebuilding Together, Habitat for Humanity, Excellence in Education, The Jack & J.T. Snow Fund, and the Joshua Chamberlain Society.
We'd like to give a special thank you to Gateway CrossFit ... one of our Trivia Night sponsors Gateway CrossFit is new boutique Personal Training facility in Clayton. They have just started a new Corporate VIP Discount program that offers a discount on our services to employees of selected corporate partners. Although The Notre Dame Club isn't a corporation, the folks at Gateway CrossFit are huge fans of Notre Dame football and one of their brothers is an ND alum. They thought it would be fun to offer the program to St Louis area Notre Dame alumni. The program is a no-cost benefit to you as members of the Notre Dame Club of St. Louis. The program includes:
- Complimentary 1st Session
- 25% Off 1st Training Package
