Face that Fanned Thousands Launched by OSU Staffer
If you loved those surly Eddie Sutton face fans that surfaced everywhere
this season, you should thank Business Administration Outreach staffer
Kendria Cost. Cost joined Sutton in choosing just the right pose, then
coordinated production work to make the unique fans a reality. They were so
popular that some vendors couldn't stock enough. The fans were used to
raise money for the American Cancer Society. Cost, who serves as co-chair
of the OSU Coaches vs. Cancer Committee, and other OSU employees around
campus have dedicated many hours to the effort. With generous help from
Sutton and Coach Julie Goodenough, they had raised $78,000 at last count.
