Lisa Launches The Solid Foundation Fund For
Youth
You can be a difference maker by contributing a tax deductible
donation to The Lisa Whaley Solid Foundation Fund For Youth.
The fund has been established by Lisa under the New Fairfield
Community Foundation, a non profit organization.
Lisa felt driven to start the fund after dealing with many
challenges with her own teenage daughter which she details
in her first book, Reclaiming My Soul
from the Lost and Found. "The youth of today are
all at risk. It doesn't matter what kind of family they come
from, what their race is, or even if they are a good student
or a poor one. We live in a society where with just the click
of a mouse, kids have more information available than ever
before. The pressures to fit in are greater than ever. I want
to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed,
academically, socially and culturally," Whaley stated.
The purpose of the fund is to ensure that community programs
designed specifically to assist youth, such as mentoring programs,
don't fall apart for lack of funding. Lisa herself has been
a mentor to at risk youth for many years. Whaley has committed
to donate a portion of her book proceeds and fees from speaking
engagements to the fund. "I've been tremendously blessed
in my life and after surviving my own perfect storm of life,
I wanted to find a way to give back to the community,"
Whaley says. "When you can make a positive difference
in someone else's life, to me that's priceless."
Donations to the fund are tax deductible. Anyone donating
$100 or more will receive a complimentary autographed copy
of Lisa’s book. Donations can be mailed to:
New Fairfield Community Foundation
