The family of Lori Carroll-Collins has established The Lori Carroll-Collins Scholarship Fund at Lee Association for Remarkable Citizens (LARC). A resident of Fort Myers for 35 years, Carroll-Collins cared deeply for her community and people in need and led her life by example, when it came to generosity and philanthropy. She passed away on August 2, 2020.

“Lori was an inspiration to many, as she lived her life to the fullest, despite living with a disability,” said her husband, Marc Collins. “She never saw herself as different and fought for equal access for herself and others. Lori spent her life in a wheelchair, but the limitations of her body did not define her life.”

“This fund will light the way for people of all abilities for generations to come,” said Angela Katz, Director of Development and Communications at LARC. “It will allow individuals with disabilities and economic limitations to access innovative services designed to help them reach their full potential. We are deeply grateful to the Carroll-Collins family.”

Donations can be mailed to LARC: 2570 Hanson St., Fort Myers, FL 33901. Please include Lori Carroll-Collins Scholarship Fund in the memo or donate online by clicking here.
