Lauren Leffler Memorial Scholarship Fund

Donation protected
This scholarship fund is for aspiring students majoring in Nutrition and Dietetics at Eastern Illinois University. It will honor the life and legacy of Lauren Leffler. Lauren passed away tragically and unexpectedly when she was killed by a drunk driver on June 24, 2012. She was 21 years old. Lauren was a loving daughter, sister and friend whose memory will continue to live on in all the lives she touched.

 

Lauren was one year away from earning her degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Eastern Illinois University. She had a passion for health and nutrition. With her huge heart and compassion she was always donating her free time to help others in need. Lauren was a member of the Student Dietetics Association while at Eastern Illinois University. She was also a member in the Alpha Gama Delta sorority.

 

In memory of Lauren's legacy all of the money raised here will be directly deposited into a scholarship fund in Lauren's name called the Lauren Leffler Memorial Scholarship Fund for students at Eastern Illinois University studying Nutrition and Dietetics. Part of this fund has already been established through fund raiser called Lauren's Run established in 2013. The first six years the majority of the proceeds were donated to MADD (MADD is an acronym for mothers against drunk driving). As mentioned above, which was the tragic cause of Lauren's passing. We hope her name and legacy can cause an end to drunk driving, or driving while under any influence.

 

The Lauren Marissa scholarship fund was set up for students to fulfill their dreams, and we appreciate all of your support.  To donate and help Lauren's legacy live on please click on the link below.  Lauren and her family want to thank you for all your continued support throughout the past years
