Giving with a Heart
To ensure that her legacy of helping others lives, we’ve established a foundation in Ellie’s name to support the causes and programs that she was so passionate about:
- Supporting educational opportunities and positive life skills development for youth
- Promoting awareness of depression and preventing suicide among young adults
- Bringing joy, meaningful connections and social engagement to the elderly
We hope that you will join us. Through your generosity and support, we can continue to make a difference – just as Ellie did.
