Mission
Statement...
The Graham Family wishes to give back to those who helped during their most
devastating time,
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.

Grants...
On August 6, 2010, a grant was awarded towards the construction of The Gift of Life Family House in Philadelphia. The Family House is a place for family members to stay while their loved one awaits, receives, or recovers from an organ transplant. With Lucy's final gift, she saved the lives of three people.
On June
30, 2009, a grant was awarded to Peter's Place, a non-profit grieving Center
in Radnor, Pennsylvania. Peter's Place, established in
memory of ten-year-old Peter Morsbach, provides
a safe and supportive environment for grieving children and families, and
acts as a community resource to foster understanding of the effects of death
and grief.
