Shannon Lee Meara Foundation

Shannon Lee Meara was a beautiful 24 year old who was murdered by an ex-boyfriend in 2008. In honor of Shannon’s compassionate spirit, and to help prevent such a tragedy happening to someone else, her family and friends created the Shannon Lee Meara Foundation to educate high school students about the dangers of dating and domestic violence. Through our fundraising efforts, the Foundation sponsors a dating and domestic violence program for high school students. The program funds classes taught by youth education specialists to promote healthy dating relationships. The Foundation also awards an annual scholarship to a high school graduate who has had a positive impact on dating and domestic violence issues.
