Established 2023
Andrew David Walker (2008-2023) was a kind-hearted, lovable kid who was passionate about everything he did. Andrew was well known for his "Andrew Hugs" by his family and close friends. He never left without giving you a hug, sometimes two.
Andrew fell in love with sports at an early age. He was a freshman at Liberty-Benton High School where he was on the junior varsity golf team and was a member of the marching band. Andrew was best known for his avid tweeting of everything related to Liberty-Benton sports. His love for Liberty-Benton sports was contagious to the point where athletes and students celebrated Andrew's sports reporting as much as he celebrated their accomplishments on the field. Fans, along with both local and regional sports reporters, could depend on Andrew's tweets to keep them up to date on the games he attended. Andrew was an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Reds, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
This fund will support a graduate of Liberty-Benton High School who participated in music and/or sports and participates in community/volunteer service activities.
