LEFF | Lauren and Emily Failla Foundation

Creating a nurturing atmosphere for the expression of health, wellness, art, understanding, and compassion for those in the communities Lauren and Emily touched.

MHS Scholarship

The annual MHS Scholarships were presented at a ceremony at MHS on June 14th. There were 2 outstanding candidates, so we awarded 2 scholarships this year, both for $3,000 each!

The recipients were Chris Ruiz and Audrey Fox, we are thrilled to award these to such polite and gracious students. Audrey plans on majoring in Marine Biology and plans to attend the University of New England that focuses on hands-on exploration. Chris is the president of the theater board as well as the class president, extremely polite and gracious and will be attending Harvard in government and engineering.

Additional Updates

The Morristown Medical Center NICU has continued to request the LEFF diaper bags, and we are well-stocked! The current system is to take the hospital 10 bags about every 3 months. We are proud of this program which directly impacts new parents in our community.

We look forward to re-connecting with Morris Arts to make sure the Shakespeare Residency can resume next year for the 5th graders at Alexander Hamilton School.

It’s been a difficult couple of years for all, but we are so grateful for good health and the support and patience all our LEFF supporters!
