The Katie Memorial Foundation

The world lost Katie Evans almost a year ago.  Since then John and her friends and family have done yeoman's work to start a charitable foundation that will carry forward Katie's legacy.

From the foundation's web site: "Our mission to “create and support educational and service opportunities in the fields of public health and human service” follows from the things that Katie Evans believed and did throughout her life. Whether lifeguarding at the YMCA after school as a teenager, inoculating children against tuberculosis as a Peace Corps volunteer in Bangladesh, establishing a chapter of the professional public health professional honors society as a graduate student leader at Florida International University, or administering Romania’s first national HIV/AIDS and Family Violence outreach program, Katie did much of her best work in service to others, at home and around the world. We hope to do the same."

Please consider making a donation to the Katie Memorial Foundation.
