The fund has since been growing steadily thanks to the contributions of a variety of donors and various fundraising activities. Additional donations are continuously being sought and can be sent to BJMSF, 11150 Southeastern Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46259. More information on donating to the fund can be found by visiting the scholarship's website.
Blaine Jarrett ... a man whose involvement and dedication to theatrical arts was enjoyed and admired by everyone who had seen him perform.
