Fundraising underway for the Ed Daniels Scholarship at Archbishop Rummel
METAIRIE, La. — Archbishop Rummel is honoring late WGNO Sports Director Ed Daniels by creating a scholarship in his name.
'We talk a lot about faith, community, and service here at Rummel, and Ed embodied all three of those things. So, with the help of his good friend Ken Trahan, the Advancement Department has worked with Ken to put together this scholarship opportunity to help Ed's legacy continue,' said Archbishop Rummel Head of School Matthew Caire.
Tonight, the school hosted the Ed Daniels Memorial Scholarship Event.
Several popular business and sports leaders throughout the New Orleans metro area gathered at the Metairie campus to celebrate the life and legacy of Ed and donate to the scholarship.
'I think it's a testimony to his lifetime of work and service and what he did for so many people at this event tonight. You're going to find people from all the rival schools, and they're contributing to this fund. Why? Because they loved him and they understood just how special he was,' said Owner/CEO of Crescent City Sports Ken Trahan.
Ed's best friend, Ken Trahan, and Archbishop Rummel are working hand-in-hand to raise $250,000 to make the scholarship possible for future Raiders.

'The scholarship is going to go to a student who otherwise couldn't afford Catholic education. Because that was important to Ed. Ed worked tirelessly with us, with our celebrity waiters' dinner every year, to help raise money for students who otherwise would not be able to afford Catholic education,' added Caire.
