Overview
Mission
In her short life, delanie had such a positive impact on so many people. Our hope is that through our foundation delanie will continue to make a difference in the lives of all who knew her and even those who didn't have the gift of meeting her. To keep her memory alive, our goal is to inspire young girls to live like delanie did: embracing life, having faith in god, setting high goals and working hard to achieve them while always helping others along the way. Together we can accomplish great things!
What it reported doing in 2024
Our foundation's primary goal is raising money for scholarships to the schools delanie attended: our lady of victory and sacred heart academy and supporting the local community where delanie lived and worked.
