ABOUT OUR SCRAMBLE
Chris was taken off this earth way too soon on June 10, 2012 but ironically on a day when he was enjoying and living life to the fullest! On this tragic day he played basketball, ran a race, cheered on his athletes, enjoyed conversations with friends, and even drove around in his antique Mustang. Chris had a zest for life, which was cultivated during his education through the Perkins School System and The Ohio State University. He was definitely proud to be both a pirate and a buckeye.
Chris could be seen at numerous Perkins events even before his children were school aged; he enjoyed attending basketball, football, volleyball and baseball games, reverse raffles, band and choir concerts, and school musicals. He was so excited when he was named High School Boys Cross Country Coach and Assistant Track Coach. Christopher wanted his athletes to be trained with the same dedication and enthusiasm as he received from Coach Hinton. He also spent time coaching junior high track, and cross country, and girls basketball. He took pride in training off season athletes in speed work. Christopher was not only book smart, he had a strong sense of self.
He had a powerful inner strength and leadership skills; living by example even if nobody was watching. The strong beam of light was evident while he was a member of the Perkins Board of Education for many years; only leaving the board to pursue his dream of being a head coach. For those of you who knew him as a board member, you know he was not a YES man, instead he made decisions that would prove positive for the teachers, students, and community.
This fundraiser was put in place as a way to acquire funds for graduating Perkins High School seniors in the form of the Chris Smith Memorial Scholarship. Each year our goal is to award at least two scholarships to students who excel in extracurricular activities.
