The Downey family, longtime supporters of Hofstra Wrestling, and Hofstra University have created a Scholarship Fund in Chief Downey's memory. Funds contributed will be used to endow scholarships in Chief Downey's name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra University Wrestling Program. Any recipient of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life.    You can find more information by visiting the web page at http://downeywrestlingfund.org    Editor's note: TheMat.com and USA Wrestling have written stories about Chief Downey, one of the wrestling heroes  who died on the job during the September 11 tragedy.
