Langford Area Community Foundation

“Use the bang board!” was a common phrase bellowed by Clark Larson from the bleachers and heard throughout the gym at Langford’s basketball games. Clark Larson passed away in May 2014 and had been an avid Langford sports fan cheering on the Lions for nearly seven decades. Clark knew the game and dutifully cheered on his sibling, his sons, his grandchildren, and many other Lion athletes over the years.

In order to carry on Clark’s memory and his love of Langford Lion sports, Clark’s twin brothers, Dale Larson and Dennis Larson, established the Clark Larson Legacy Endowment Fund as a sub-fund of the Langford Community Foundation. Each year, the endowment fund will select a Langford Area High School graduating senior that participated in Lion athletics. The recipient will receive a $500 scholarship in memory of Clark and his love of sports.

“What’s neat is that with one initial investment, the scholarship fund will support a Langford senior athlete forever,” stated Dale Larson. “Clark enjoyed watching sports, especially the Langford Lions. It’s an honor to know that even though Clark won’t be with us at the games, he will forever be supporting the Langford Lion athletes.”

“I’m grateful that Dale and Dennis chose to utilize the Langford Community Foundation (LCF) to honor Clark,” stated LCF President Mark Nelson. “I like the fact that if a family is looking to set-up a legacy fund, it can support any non-profit organization in our communities or a designated scholarship fund.” Anyone interested in establishing a legacy endowment fund in honor of a loved one should contact Mark Nelson or a LCF board member.

Langford will definitely miss Clark this basketball season, but the legacy endowment fund will be a great yearly reminder of the wonderful memories Clark has left behind.
