AUBURN, Ala (WRBL) — If you’re a student entrepreneur at Auburn, well it’s time to show your million dollar smile…or idea. Benny LaRussa Jr., and Lynn LaRussa recently created the LaRussa Catalyst Fund which is a $1 million permanent endowment for Auburn University student entrepreneurs looking to bring their business ideas to life.
Their endowment will be matched as part of 1982 graduate Raymond Harbert’s dollar-for-dollar “challenge match” initiative, increasing the total support to $2 million. Harbert offered to match endowment gifts up to $15 million, as part of his $40 million commitment that resulted in the naming of the college in June 2013.
