Taylor Martin Memorial Soccer Game


Nearly two years ago, our community lost a dear friend, teammate, and Original General as Taylor Martin was taken from us on September 10th, 2015. Taylor embodied the notion of LEADERship through peacemaking, care, and friendship. To honor and celebrate her life, we will host the Nelson County Lady Cards in our annual Taylor Martin Memorial Game. Led by Legacy Core and student leadership team, this event was established to bring all members of the community together to connect and celebrate, much like Taylor was able to do in her own life. Entry into the Memorial Game and its aligned activities will be donation-based, and all proceeds from the game will go directly to the Taylor Martin Memorial Scholarship Foundation (see below for details regarding the scholarship foundation).

The Game
The evening will feature a varsity soccer match between the Lady Cardinals and the Lady Generals.
A short pre-game ceremony honoring Taylor's life is set to start at 6:30PM. A varsity match between the two teams is set to start afterwards. NO JV GAME.

Food and Social
We will host an "Ignite the Memory" social to create a space for all members of the community to gather and connect before the game and throughout the evening. The social is planned to take place in the space beyond the far bleachers (closest to the football practice field) and is set to begin at 5:00PM. This area will also serve as our main hub to get food and beverages, as we will NOT host typical concessions. All food served at the game will be available to public and will be sold on a donation-basis.

Games and activities, including a face-painting booth, will also be set up in the tailgate area.

T-Shirts
We will also sell t-shirts that commemorate the Memorial Game and celebrate Taylor's life. The shirts will sell for $10.00, and profits from the sales will go to the scholarship foundation. See the image below for a rough sketch of the shirts. The shirts will be white with purple font, and the lettering on the back came from a doodle drawn in Coach Martin's notebook, by Taylor herself during her senior season.



Taylor Martin Memorial Scholarship Foundation
Finally, we have established a scholarship foundation to honor Taylor's life. The Taylor Martin Memorial Scholarship Foundation seeks to raise $10,000 contributing to an annual $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior. This scholarship will be awarded to a senior female that represents peacemaking, CARE, and LEADERship. 2017 scholarship recipients were Laken Culver and Michaela Johnson.
