The Family of Cheryl Lyn Welter is excited to announce a MAJOR COMMITMENT to help underprivileged kids in our local schools!
Cheryl’s Family has established the “Cheryl Lyn Welter Charitable Family Foundation”, a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization with an endowment from which grants will be issued to help underprivileged kids in grades K-12 with expenses which may be out of their reach.
Our initial goal is to have $100,000 in the endowment in order to begin awarding grants.
Our daughter Cheryl was killed in an auto accident on October 12, 2000, when she was a Senior at Knox High School. Cheryl’s dream was always to help others, and, to that end, she had been accepted at Purdue University as a Family Counseling major. Now, we’re asking you to help us carry on her dream of helping families, and, in particular, children of families with limited financial means!
Many local kids can’t afford even simple things like field trips, school supplies or practice packs for sports. Through the endowment, we will be able to help kids with immediate needs through grants geared to specific purposes as outlined by teachers, coaches and others involved with these children.
If you’d like to have an immediate impact in helping local kids, go to Cheryl’s website:

The need is great…the time is now…the inspiration is Cheryl!
