Donation Instructions
Dave was a teacher who believed in second chances and strived to maintain a 'pay-it-forward' attitude in all aspects of his life. He had a big heart for students who struggled in school and often made special connections with them, helping them turn their lives around. Through his coaching, his unique sense of humour, and lengthy conversations with students, he often created quite an impact on their lives. Dave's co-workers at
Clarke Road Secondary School have initiated an award in his memory, to go to a student who has demonstrated a ‘turn around’ in his or her years at the school and is ideally continuing in a technical trade career.
Please consider donating to the Dave Richards Memorial Award Fund.
To donate go to the London Community Foundation website
www.lcf.on.ca and select the 'Donate Now' button. You will be redirected to the 'Canada Helps' website. After you select the next 'donate now' button you can enter your donation amount and please ensure that you select the 'Dave Richards Memorial Fund' in the pulldown menu. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more.
I truly appreciate your donations. I have a goal of $25,000.00 to attain, in order for this fund to continue on in perpetuity. This will ensure that Dave's gift - to inspire and enrich others through second chances - will continue long into the future.
