Dominic Glover, Javes
Lewis, Jeff Maehl and Will Wallace all enrolled at Oregon with Doxey last fall
as part of the Ducks’ 2007 recruiting class, with Maehl the only one of the
five players not to redshirt last season. Because of their friendship with
Doxey, his teammates decided to pay tribute to the 19-year-old San Diego native
as well as assist his family in need.
With their help, the Todd Doxey Memorial Fund was established to help defray the expenses associated with the redshirt defensive back’s death. NCAA rules require the university to oversee the memorial fund. Any monies donated that are over and above the permissible expense incurred by the family must, by NCAA rules, be donated to charity. Donations (by check) should be forwarded to:
Todd Doxey Memorial
Fund
c/o Jubilee World
Outreach
1171 Fairfield Ave.
Eugene, OR 97402

Notations should be
attached to the donation in regards to the affiliation of the contributor to
the University of Oregon (i.e., donor, season ticket-holder, employee, etc.).
If the contributor is not affiliated in any way with the university, they are
asked to briefly describe their connection with Todd or the Doxey family in an
attempt to assist the athletics department’s oversight of the fund. Any other
efforts, regardless of the intentions, could result in negative NCAA
consequences for the university.
It also is
permissible for individuals to send flowers to the Doxey family. Flowers may be
sent to The Rock Church, 2277 Rosecrans Street, San Diego, CA 92106.
Information in regards to suggested florists may be obtained by contacting the
church at (619) 226-7625.
Funeral services will
be held at 10 a.m. Monday at The Rock Church in San Diego.
For further questions, please contact Senior Associate Athletics Director Gary Gray or Executive Assistant Athletics Director Bill Clever in the athletics department’s compliance office at (541) 346-4481 or jclever@uoregon.edu.
