Today, he is a major fundraiser for Boston College, and has endowed them with an athletic scholarship – the Donovan Family Scholarship Fund – since 2003 for promising student athletes. The current recipient is Carolyn Swords.

Swords, who earned All-ACC first team honors last season, led the country in field goal percentage for the second consecutive season.
