Melissa Cook Memorial Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. My name is Christine Maroules. I am the cousin of Melissa Cook, class of ’94, and serve on the Board of Directors for the Melissa Cook Memorial Foundation a 501(c) (3) non-profit educational foundation created in memory of Melissa. It is our mission is to award need-based post-secondary scholarships to students that best embody the sprit and characteristics of Melissa. Melissa, proud member of ND Softball ’91,’92 and Monogram recipient died tragically in downtown Chicago on the eve of her thirtieth birthday in March of 2002 when scaffolding fell from the John Hancock building. Melissa’s parents, Paul and Linda Demo donated a large portion of the settlement received to build the Melissa Cook Softball Stadium, the current home of the ND Softball team as well as funding the Melissa Cook Memorial Foundation. The University of Notre Dame recently hosted the first annual Melissa Cook Memorial Foundation Weekend at the Melissa Cook Softball Stadium coinciding with this year’s Blue/Gold game. It was during this weekend that we announced our 2nd annual “Dream Football Weekend” fundraiser. Our “Dream Football Weekend” offers the chance for one lucky donor to win a spectacular Notre Dame Football weekend experience. Please see the attached flyer regarding the details. I am reaching out to Notre Dame Alumni groups to help us market this fundraiser by spreading the word to your local chapter members. We are hoping to expand this opportunity to the entire Notre Dame family. In the past other Notre Dame Clubs posted our fundraiser on their websites, through emails and their newsletters. It is my privilege to not only honor Melissa’s memory, but to perpetuate the spirit of Notre Dame by helping those in need fulfill their potential. Thank you for your time and consideration in supporting the Melissa Cook Memorial Foundation. For additional information regarding the group please visit www.MelissaCook.org or our page on Facebook. Please contact me via email if you have any questions regarding this fundraiser and/or the Melissa Cook Foundation. Kind Regards, |
