Mother raises funds for late son's memorial scholarship benefiting UL kinesiology students

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- An annual fundraiser kicked off Wednesday in honor of a University of Louisiana at Lafayette student, who lost his life to an accidental combination of prescription and over the counter cold medicine.

Every year, his mother, Carol Trosclair, raises money in honor of her late son, David, for UL Lafayette students chasing his same dream of working in physical therapy.

Trosclair and UL kinesiology students raise this money by selling $10 raffle tickets.
