Chris Breen Memorial Fund

Dr. Jack and Marian Breen named a scholarship fund at St. Austin Catholic School in memory of their son Christopher, who tragically passed away in the A&M “Aggie Bonfire” accident in 1999.  Christopher, like all his siblings, is an alum of St. Austin Catholic School.  He graduated St. Austin in 1988. The Scholarship Fund was set up to help families with multiple students attending St. Austin to cover their tuition. 

Chris was a 1992 graduate of Anderson High School and a 1997 graduate of Texas A&M. Chris lived a life devoted to his family. He was dedicated to the outdoors and to youth service projects. He was an Eagle Scout and had worked for numerous summers as a canoe guide at the BSA Sommers Northern Expeditions Canoe Base in Ely, Minnesota. He was a member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets from September 1992 to May 1996. The students chose him in his senior year as the Senior Coordinator of the Aggie Bonfire as a Brown Pot. He also was a member of the Texas A&M Pistol Team, Sailing Club, Wildlife Biology Association and Catholic Student Association. After graduation he had worked in Harwood, Texas and at the time of his death he was working in Austin.

We appreciate your support.
