After his passing a GoFundMe raised more than $200,000, Beaty’s mother, Debra Cooper, directed that money to scholarships at Indiana University and Cathedral High School. She says giving back to his community was something that Chris valued in his time on earth. Each year the Chris Beaty Indiana Football scholarship will go to an Indiana athlete who kicks off their time on the Hoosier football team in the same way Beaty did: “They are going to give it to a walk-on football player, which Chris was,” said Cooper. Additionally head coach Tom Allen announced they are renaming the walk-on award. It will now be referred to as the Chris Beaty Outstanding Walk-On Award.
