Conner Firstman Celebration - April 26th

Post by msusportsinfo » Wed Apr 09, 2014 10:16 am

Montana State University has scheduled a service celebrating the life of Conner Firstman on Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 4 p.m. in Bobcat Stadium. Firstman was an MSU student and Bobcat Athletics intern who passed away on March 1.

Widely known for his videography talents, he was a beloved friend to many and an inspiration to all. With his combination of skill, charisma and dedication, he exemplified the true meaning of being a Bobcat.

Following the celebration in the Sonny Holland End Zone of Bobcat Stadium, light refreshments will be served in the South End Zone concourse. Firstman was known widely for his videos promoting Bobcat Athletic teams as well as for his long and courageous battle against cancer.

Those wishing to honor Conner's memory, donations may be made to the Conner Firstman "Film Like a Champion" Scholarship with checks payable to MSUAF (Conner Firstman FLC Scholarship in the memo line) and mailed to MSUAF, PO Box 172750, Bozeman, MT 59717. Donations may also be made for scholarships for youth group Mexico mission trips with checks payable to Cedar Mill Bible Church, 12208 NW Cornell Rd., Portland, OR 97229.

The weather is looking iffy for Saturday right now. Is there a plan to move inside if it stays that way?


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

We will let you know by tomorrow if the event will still be in the stadium. We'll make sure everyone knows if there are any changes in location, etc.

Let's all pray to the Bozeman Spring Weather Gods! [-o< :D

Conner's Celebration will still be in Bobcat Stadium!

In the event of a torrential downpour, we'll move into the Pulfrey Gate concourse area (southeast corner of the stadium) and that information will be relayed to the attendees ahead of time. So dress warm, bring blankets and umbrella! We also ask that you wear your favorite Bobcat gear or just your favorite sports team (in the event it is not Montana State) because that's what Conner was all about!

Thank you so much for joining us this Saturday at 4pm to honor such a wonderful part of the Montana State Family.

So sorry to Conner's family and friends. As a Griz fan I'm glad to hear Mick made the trip. Just doesn't seem fair though.
