The Lawzie Marigold Foundation was started in April 2016 as a Not For Profit Organization in honor of our daughter Lauren Rae Baruch, who was born May, 20, 1991. Her life was tragically taken from us along with Stephanie Belli, Brittney Schulman and Amy Grabina in the Cutchogue Limousine accident on July 18, 2015.
In the months that followed the tragic accident, the outpouring of love and support from everyone was a true testament as to who Lauren was. Therefore, The Lawzie Marigold Foundation was founded.
Lawzie Marigold is a name created by Lauren Baruch for a school project when she was 10 years old, that followed her for the rest of her life.
Within one month of its inception, the foundation was able to have our first fundraiser. This was able to happen through the tireless work of our board of directors, word of mouth and the use of social media. From the generosity of donations, we were able to award our first annual Lawzie Marigold scholarship to a recipient of Smithtown High School West.
The foundation has been blessed with so much support. Please go the Lawzie Marigold Facebook page "like" it and "share" it. For future events and more information about the foundation can be found right here at LawzieMarigold.blogspot.com.
