More than $10,000 was added to the Big Green Scholarship Foundation annual fund this year, thanks to the first ever Chapter Rep Challenge.

Representatives of Big Green chapters competed for three months to sign up new members or renewed members. When the contest ended on Sept. 1, 69 names were added to the Big Green membership rolls.

Leading the way was Huntington representative Brian Massey who signed up an amazing 42 new or renewed members. He was followed by Jim Ferguson of Putnam County who signed up nine.

"We want to thank all our representatives who do such a great job for us, and especially those who helped us recruit new members," said Curtis Head, assistant director of athletic development, who managed the contest. Head said others who significantly helped in the Rep Challenge were:

Mike Haddad (Atlanta), KA Ammar Jr. (Bluefield - Four Seasons), Rex Johnson (Cincinnati), Jeff Propps (Parkersburg), Bill Rine (Washington, D.C.) and Ralph Hagy (Williamson--MAD4MU)
