Four years have passed since Ohio State freshman Stephanie Hummer was abducted and murdered, but a group of young men and women are still holding onto her memory.The Fourth Annual Stephanie Hummer Memorial Golf Tournament is how the Evans Scholars pay tribute to their friend and sister. The proceeds of the event will benefit the Community Crime Patrol and the Stephanie Hummer Recreation Park, 155 E. Patterson Ave.The Evans Scholars “is a national organization whose goal is to give financial support to young college-bound adults who have helped to support themselves for a number of years through caddying,” said Steve Leffingwell, executive vice president of the Evans house. “The tragic event that occurred four years ago made us realize that an opportunity exists to create a more substantial contribution to the community,” said Leffingwell.The Evans Scholars have come to realize the importance of crime prevention and campus safety. These themes have been incorporated into their philanthropic efforts this year.”This tournament is important for a number of reasons,” said Gary Schwind, a former Evans Scholar. “It’s a reminder. A reminder of one of the happiest people I’ve ever known. This tournament is a way to honor Stephanie and continue her legacy. It’s also a great way to create safety awareness on and off campus.”Hummer wrote a poem entitled “When I Am Gone” that captured the essence of her own memory. “When I am gone, I wish to know the world’s a better place. When I am gone, I wish to know that someone will remember my face,” she wrote.The park contains a memorial with her picture and her poem.”Not only are we, the Evans Scholars, going to remember her face, everyone who enters her park will remember her face,” said Mike Moeddel, Evans Scholar president. Most of the students who lived with Hummer have since graduated, but have kept her memory alive in the house.”Stephanie’s life, her tournament and her park are reminders of how important life is and should be celebrated,” said Chris Lamkin, 23, a member of Hummer’s pledge class. “It’s hard to simply pass along a memory, but this tournament is one way to get those who didn’t know Stephanie involved.” Leffingwell, who was not an Evans Scholar at the time, feels close to Hummer after putting so much time and energy into this tournament. “Stephanie has become a part of my life,” he said. “It’s very easy to become emotionally attached. This tournament is the single most important activity we do and I don’t want let Stephanie down. I want to do all I can to keep her memory alive.”Hummer was murdered March 6, 1994. The case has yet to be solved, but the investigation continues.This year’s Stephanie Hummer Memorial Golf Tournament will be held May 16, at Oakhaven Golf Complex at 1 p.m.
