Approximately $70,000 raised in memory of Jun Lin
Representatives of Concordia University met with members of Jun Lin’s family on July 20 to inform them that more than $70,000 has been raised in his name.
Concordia established the Jun Lin Family Fund on June 8 to provide financial assistance for the immediate needs of the Lin family, as well as the Jun Lin Award to benefit Chinese students studying at the university.
Over the past month, hundreds of individuals have expressed their support in various ways. The Lin family is comforted by the knowledge that this tragedy has united individuals from across the globe and that their son’s name will live on in a positive light.
The family of Jun Lin extends its heartfelt appreciation to those whose kindness and generosity have provided relief during this trying time and will carry them through the agonizing months ahead.
Donations to both the Jun Lin Family Fund and the Jun Lin Award can still be made online via the In Memory of Jun Lin page.
