Donate on Behalf of Coach Shepherd
Coach David Shepherd guided W.T. White to 32 consecutive baseball playoff appearances.
He was inducted into the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Eight of his players were selected by Major League Baseball teams.
The Class of ‘79 first learned from Coach Shep (aka, “Bulldog”) in 8th grade at Marsh Jr. High.
Former athletes from many graduating classes recently honored coach Shep before a game on the baseball field that bears his name.

Notes
Recurring Donations: you can opt to automatically donate monthly. Click on one of the Donate buttons above. Click on “Monthly,” above the donation amount, to change the donation type from “One-Time” to “Monthly.”
Matching Donations: if you, your business or someone you know would match donations, please contact us. Matching donation programs can be limited. For example, you can match just donations made on North Texas Giving Day (i.e., one day in the fall), or donations up to a defined amount, just donations made by a specified graduating class, etc..
Named Scholarships: we can tailor scholarship criteria and name that scholarship (e.g., to honor a classmate, coach, teacher, administrator, loved one) under certain circumstances. Click the button below to find out more.
Option to Donate Processing Fees: we use Donorbox, an excellent donor management system, to track donations. Donorbox is free for the LLSF to use for donations made by check or Zelle. For other donation types whereby the LLSF would otherwise incur a processing fee, you can choose to donate the small transaction fee. Look for the Check Box on the last donation page that says “Optionally add $x.xx to cover processing fees.”
Donorbox is used by 50,000 organizations in 96 countries.
More than $1.6 billion in donations have been processed thru Donorbox.
How Your Donations Will be Used: we plan to award 99% of all donations received. That leaves 1% to pay for donation processing fees, insurance, technology and other costs.
All donations (net of minimal operating costs) will be awarded as scholarships or, in limited cases, donated to W.T. White High School to honor an alumnus who has passed. For example, the LLSF plans to plant a tree and place a bench nearby in memory of Class of ‘79 alumni who have passed.
How Your Donations are Safeguarded: all donations are deposited into the LLSF business account at Chase Bank.
That account is automatically insured by the FDIC.
