The Lori Carroll-Collins Scholarship Fund

Established in 2020, the Lori Carroll-Collins Scholarship Fund at LARC will allow individuals with disabilities and economic limitations to access innovative services designed to help them reach their full potential.  This fund will light the way for people of all abilities for generations to come.

A resident of Fort Myers for 35 years, Lori 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.”
