would like to introduce The Marichi Turner Foundation to all of you
who have not heard of it.
This non-profit organization
was founded in 2009 in memory of Marichi Lynn Turner of Watson, Louisiana.
Marichi was born with Cystic Fibrosis in March of 1979. She lived with
the disease for 24 years before it took her life on July 15th, 2003.
Marichi lived a very happy
life, full of family, friends, and many dreams that
came true. Through her journey, she had many people whose support and
love made it possible to experience life in the fullest. Her
spirit and legacy live
on today in the hearts of many. If she were here today, she would have
wanted to help those children following in her footsteps and put smiles
on their faces as so many did for her.
The
Marichi Turner Foundation was created to grant wishes and assist
children living with Cystic Fibrosis. Our goal is to locate children,
ages 3 to 18, living with this disease in our community
and neighboring communities. Through sponsorships
and annual fundraisers, the foundation will raise funds to grant as
many wishes to those children as possible.
In addition, The Marichi Turner
Memorial Scholarship is a $1000 scholarship awarded annually at Live
Oak High, Marichi's alma mater, to one senior who will be majoring in
business and/or computers.
They welcome anyone who would
like to get involved with their foundation. They are accepting donations,
sponsors, and volunteers to help their cause. If you know of a child
with Cystic Fibrosis that they can assist, please send them an email
to TMTFoundation@gmail.com. Together, with
your help they can make life a little sweeter for that child.
The foundation is also currently
selling sponsorships - ranging from $25 and up, businesses will be advertised
on webpage, banners, t-shirts.
If you are interested in volunteering, being a sponsor
or making a donation pleasecontact
them by email: tmtfoundation@gmail.com
or by phone at 225-937-9317.
