- Who are LeVeen and Roach?
- Jeffrey LeVeen and Stephen Roach were two of the greatest friends you could have. Both were avid golfers, members of Secession Golf Club, and devoted family guys. And both were victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.
- Did they set up the LeVeen-Roach Scholarship Fund?
- In spirit, perhaps, yes, but the actual LeVeen-Roach Scholarship Fund was created by members of their families and several Secession friends of Jeff and Stephen. Interestingly, many contributors never met Jeff and Stephen, but they have said they admire the Scholarship Fund's vision and commitment.
