anniversary

10 years ago today, June 23, 2011, Olivia died in a sailing accident. Hard to believe that it has been that long, but time marches on at a relentless pace, regardless of life events. Friends of Olivia, you know well that we’ve tried to spread the spirit of Olivia, the kindhearted, funny, sweet young women, with a larger-than-life personality, with others these past years through the Foundation.

In our sadness of reflection today, we are also rejoicing that we have been able, through the grace of God, to impact so many people through the Foundation. In these ten years we have awarded over 100 college scholarships to our next generation of leaders. We have provided over 30 grants to the local school system to provide additional resources so our children can reach their full potential. We have helped families transition back into stable home environment, many times from homelessness. We have championed numerous volunteering opportunities throughout the years, all in the spirit of Olivia. Thank you for your unwavering support. Sweet Olivia, never forgotten.
