and to keep Lucy’s memory alive within the spirit of this giving. The foundation awards grants to
organizations that assist families dealing with traumatic circumstances.

About The L.E.G. Up Foundation
The L.E.G. Up Foundation was established in 2005 in loving memory of Lucy Elizabeth Graham,
who tragically lost her life in a car accident just after her second birthday.

About Lu
Lucy was a beautiful child whose sparkling eyes and smile will never be forgotten. Nor will her little laugh, or the sound of her sweet voice. She loved living and had a positive impact on all the people that she met in her life. She loved giving hugs, laughing, dancing, making music, chasing animals, and cuddling. She spread joy with her presence and her spirit will continue to inspire the people who knew her. She was a precious gift.  Her memory will live on forever through her sister, brothers, and all of her family.

“2nd Annual Fundraiser Dinner in Spring 2010” 
We would like to thank all who attended The 2nd Annual High Street Benefit Dinner!

We are, of course, grateful to those who help us support the charities who make such valuable contributions to the community. But more importantly, thank you to those who took the time to help us to keep Lucy's memory alive. Your contribution in that way is immeasurable.

“Get your legs up for The L.E.G. Up Foundation’s 5K Run!” 
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the 5K/Cookout! A good time was had by all,
and we were fortunate the rain held out. It was a success, and puts us on our way to making
another grant in Lucy's name next year. A special thank you to all those course marshals!!

Hope to see everyone again next year!

Thank you, also, to the many generous donations from the newsletter mailing.  
We are fortunate to have so many people supporting us in keeping Lucy's memory alive.

"Dinner at the High Street Caffe"
The Graham Family would like to extend a deep, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made our first fundraiser a success!  Thank you to those who attended the dinner at High Street Caffe, and thank you, also, to the many who could not attend that made such generous donations.  We are so grateful and appreciative to have so many wonderful friends and family in our lives. 

Because of your generosity, on June 30, 2009, The L.E.G. Up Foundation awarded it’s first grant to
Peter’s Place in Radnor, Pennsylvania.  Peter’s Place is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, founded in memory of Peter Morsbach.  Peter’s Place was founded on the belief that every child, teen, and adult deserves the opportunity to grieve in a supportive and understanding environment.  It was a helpful place
to us in the time following the accident, and especially enjoyed by Denali.
