Following Curtis Williams' injury during a football game in October of 2000, the University of Washington established The Curtis Williams Fund to support his long-term care and to assist with expenses over and above those covered by family, University and NCAA catastrophic injury insurance programs.

The fund assisted with health care deductibles, home health care benefits, rehabilitation expense benefits, adjustment expense benefits for the immediate family, special home and motor vehicle accommodation benefits, college education benefits and other related expenses.

Following his death on May 6, remaining funds for the Curtis Williams Fund will be used to establish the "Curtis Williams Scholarship" at the University of Washington.

At the time of his death $400,000 has been raised for the fund. The University of Washington athletic department and Curtis Williams' family would like to thank all of the individuals and organizations that made contributions to the fund.

Contributions for the scholarship fund may be sent to:
