Beth Shannon Memorial Fund

Established 2019

The Beth Shannon Memorial Fund is designed to honor its namesake, Beth Shannon. Beth was a teacher at Western Ave. in Geneva for nearly twenty years. Beth was a mom, a friend, and an avid supporter of her community, and this fund is designed to carry on that community support. The main fundraiser for this fund is the annual Beth Shannon Memorial Golf Outing that started in 2017, a year after her passing. This golf outing has supported various community causes like scholarships for future educators, Lazarus House, Gigi’s Playhouse, and Mutual Ground.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

Sharon Stredde

President Emeritus

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!
