CARRIE BROWN FOUNDATION, INC.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

About the Carrie Brown Foundation The Carrie Brown Foundation is a 501-C-3 federally registered charitable foundation established in 2002, in loving memory of Carrie Anne Brown. The mission of this foundation is to continue Carrie’s spirit of giving, which was so much a part of who she was. To accomplish this mission the foundation relies on the generous support of both individual and corporate donors. It is worthy to note that 100% of the foundations proceeds are used to help less fortunate children. To recognize a few of the beneficiaries of your generosity through the Carrie Brown foundation, the foundation has awarded scholarships which have allowed children to realize their dream of attending Camp Wewa, a YMCA camp in Apopka Florida, where Carrie spent many weeks each summer enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. The Carrie Brown Foundation is proud to have the ability to help improve the lives of children and we are heartened by the generosity and the continued commitment of our supporters. The Carrie Brown Foundation The Carrie Brown Foundation The Carrie Brown Foundation “GRANTS” A large storage room located off the main school gymnasium at Carrie’s school, Greenwood Lakes Middle, was renovated for use as a fitness center for the students and staff of Greenwood Lakes School. The transformation went beyond a new coat of paint and new carpet. Rita hired Denise McCabe, a local artist to paint a unique mural. It covers one 40-foot wall and features 14 athletes, including a basketball player, a swimmer and a runner. The mural depicts Carrie in a cloud overseeing the room. Carrie’s neighbor and best friend, Amy Hill, who was also killed in the 2000 crash, appears in the mural as a jogger. The fitness room at Greenwood Lakes is equipped with 30 stationary bicycles, some donated by the Foundation. The Carrie Brown Foundation donates scholarships to students to attend the YMCA Camp Wewa for one week each summer. The teachers at the school decide who receives the honor of this scholarship award. The Brown Family also helped fund the construction of a 40-foot climbing tower, a first for the camp that hosts 160 campers a week in the summer. Goliath, as they call this mountain among the trees, has nine different climbing sides each with a specific difficulty level. This climbing wall is the largest outside climbing facility in the South East United States. There is a “zip” line attached to the top s of Goliath that sends it’s rider out and over Mud Lake. The ride is a block long and is thrilling for all participants.
