Gerry and Patsy Kirk
“The most important thing we could do at this point in our lives was to help kids go to school. It’s the right thing to do.”
—Patsy Kirk
Gerry and Patsy Kirk met in the Marching Aztecs when Gerry was a graduate student helping to develop football halftime shows and Patsy was a freshman baton twirler. They dated on and off for five years while Gerry pursued his teaching career. Patsy completed her education at SDSU and began her teaching career. Then they married and are looking forward to celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this summer.
Patsy and Gerry love SDSU because of the quality education they received, for the excitement of all the special programs like basketball games and for the many opportunities the University offers college students today. By establishing endowed scholarships for undergraduate students at SDSU, they’re helping future generations of Aztecs achieve their dreams.
You can join the Kirks in showing your Aztec pride and love for SDSU is as strong as ever—after all this time—with a legacy gift this Valentine’s Day. This type of gift costs you nothing today, but it enables San Diego State University to change students’ lives and empower them to make the world a better place for years to come.
