Flooding devastates home of Clemson faculty; donations being accepted

The Academic Success Center and the performing arts department are sponsoring an effort to help raise funds to assist with repairs to the home of Clemson faculty members Bruce and Laurel Whisler. The recent storms that impacted the Upstate area caused significant flood damage to the couple’s home, including compromising the house’s foundation and partially collapsing the basement.

Repair estimates exceed $50,000 and traditional insurance does not cover flood damage.

An account has been set up at Bank of America, 521 College Ave., Clemson, SC 29631 To donate, visit the Bank of America branch or mail your check to the bank, made payable to Bruce and Laurel Whisler Fund with the account number (223017284625) on the memo line.
