The Erin Peterson Fund was formed May 9, 2007. Thousands of cards, gifts and monetary donations came to us from all over the United States. We were so honored and humbled that it became obvious that we should use this outpouring of love to set up a non-profit fund to keep Erin's name and dreams alive.

Through the support of Westfield High School, Erin's alma mater, and our Centreville, Virginia, community, we presented two scholarships in June 2007: the Erin Peterson Leadership Award and the Erin Peterson Commit to Excel Award.

We will continue to present two scholarships each year which are renewable up to three years for recipients who meet the criteria. These unique awards were established to help ensure student success and to let them know we are interested and committed to their future.

Through proceeds from the Erin Peterson Golf Tournament we will continue to partner with the high school to sponsor these awards and other programs, including the Alliance of Concerned Men; an initiative for at-risk teens.

Erin accepted no limitations when it came to helping those in need. The Erin Peterson Fund is 100% donor dependent. Our goal is to endow the fund so Erin’s legacy is guaranteed to live on. We ask for your generous support so that the dreams Erin had for herself may come true for others.
