paige3girl Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 For some reason I cannot get into the post asking about a fund for Sean's daughter. However, my response would have been this... I was asking my husband about this today on the way to the train station -- he works for Smith Barney. The best thing to open is a 529 -- which is a fund to be used for college only. It can be opened 6 months after birth and the funds would be available when she was accepted to college. You can also open a trust that does not have a college clause however I think a 529 is a better option. If people are interested in doing this I can definitely get more information.

28rdsknsfn28 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This is a great idea if it can really be done. I was thinking about doing something like pulling some names off a gift tree for needy kids and giving "in memory of Sean Taylor". Does that seem tacky?

nightbird Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 As many problems as I have with Dan Snyder, I have no doubt that he'll take care of Sean's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige3girl Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I will try to get more details to see if this is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemann71 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 i think a fund would be a good idea....i also have no doubt that there will be contributions from players around the NFL, from dan snyder in our organization (give his family the rest of this year's pay check!!), and that sean had saved enough money for his girl and daughter to comfortably live off of for a few years.... assuming the inheritance isn't split amongst the whole family. i wonder what will happen with his girlfriend, since she is his baby's mother but not his wife?

DC_Native,NC_Fan Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think it would make more sense to donate it in memory of Sean to some kids that actually need it. I sincerely doubt his kid will want for anything. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think it would be best to make both kinds of fund Sean may have made a few million in the 4 years he was with the skins,but a few million isn't anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This couldn't of been a worst time for your dad to die during the holidays having to remember your dad when christmas is around the corner. God I fell so sorry for her and would love to do something like that for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think there needs to be a fund, but I am really not sure that it needs to be for Sean's daughter. Sean was a millionaire athlete and I would think there are several large insurance policies out there throught the NFLPA. My guess is that his daughter's smallest problem right now is college money. I would suggest a Sean Taylor Memorial Fund for children who really need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIN4WAHOOZ Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 We need a reward fund for any informatin that will lead to the capture of the ***** that did this and burn him or them on the white house steps! RIP ST!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 poor little Jackie, will never know her daddythat hurts me most of all Exactly. I'm sure Snyder could handle the financial obligations that his family will have to over come, but this little girl changed everything about Taylor, and now she won't even get to know him.

28rdsknsfn28 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 My wife had another good idea. We could all make a donation to a fund (United Way, Red Cross, ECT) in his name. Would be nice if someone knew of a group he supported to which we could donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeanTaylorExperience Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 That little girl was Taylors NEW life! When Sean would come and eat at Brio with her and his girlfriend. He would be holding her the majority of the time while he was waiting for his food. He changed his whole life around for her. ST is a role model and I would love to be just like this guy! I'ma sure miss him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I understand where you are coming from. I'm sure Jackie was his first concern for everything. Still, I agree with those saying money may be pointless. I think it would almost be worth more if we could send anything and everything we have that might help her learn a little about her father. Letters and stories from those who met him, anything he signed, pictures you've taken... anything, no matter how small. She deserves to know about him as she grows, and he deserves for his little girl to know what kind of man he was. It wouldn't be much, but maybe it would be something.

That is an absolutely GREAT idea!I appreciate all the people who suggest sending money, but I agree that she is going to be setup for life. Even if Sean doesn't have any money left, life insurance alone should put her in a good situation. I think that little girl being able to look at personal accounts and memorabilia of her father when she gets older would be priceless, absolutely priceless. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplohmillers#1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 His daughter is going to be set financially. If you want to donate then donate to a charity in his name or establish a scholarship in his name. But do something positive with the money.

BraveWarrior Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Agree with those who are suggesting donating in Sean's memory to a good cause. His daughter should be well taken care of with Sean's savings, as well as insurance, and hopefully with Mr. Snyder doing something for her on behalf of the team.

This is an excellent idea. I am a financial advisor with a special emphasis in insurance and estate planning and do not invest peoples money in stock equities as that is a completely different license. I choose to specialize in life and health. That being said, a 529 plan is a great tool that can be used for any type of education, not just college. When someone has a 529 plan and applies for public assistance through financial aid this money is invisible and the institution she is trying to get a loan from can't turn her down because she has enough money in her 529 plan. If the money was in a stock mutual fund or other types of investments, then they could turn her down and tell her she doesn't need the money.

DCranon21 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 That's a good ideal, but I have another ideal too. Not sure if the mods can help out on this one, but couldn't they make a car magnet up with the number 21, and all of the proceeds go to a college fund for his daughter? Seriously mods or anyone, could they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom10Y Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah i was thinking of ordering a custom "21" car magnet for my car. That would be nice in burgundy because my car is white. If anyone has information if this is already being sold, please let me know. Magnet America maybe? :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintonINFORSIX26 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Does anyone think that we should make a extreme skins fund were we can each put up some money for a reward leading to the arrest of sean taylors killer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
