Gavin Donohue was a civil engineering student at the University of Missouri-Rolla, and would have graduated in 2008. In May 2007, Gavin traveled to Guatemala with Engineers Without Borders to help build an earthquake-proof school. Gavin was a music lover and a musician himself. His main instrument was the guitar, but he also played the piano, banjo, and mandolin, among others. He was a St. Louis Cardinals fan, and well-loved by his family and friends.
The Gavin Bradford Donohue Foundation has been established to raise money for causes that were close to Gavin's heart, namely Engineers Without Borders. We are also working hand-in-hand with organizations like MADD to educate about the dangers of drunk driving, and MoDOT to promote road worker safety.
DONOROO is a benefit concert honoring the memory of Gavin Donohue. Gavin was killed at the age of 22 by a drunk driver while working a summer road construction internship. Donoroo is on Saturday, July 19, at the Pageant in the St. Louis Loop. Doors open at 5pm, music from 5:30-12:30. Featuring BOCKMAN, CHICAGO FARMER, BOTTLE OF JUSTUS, JUMBIES, ALGERNON, and BACKYARD TIRE FIRE. Proceeds benefit the Gavin Bradford Donohue Foundation, which supports Engineers Without Borders, among other causes.
