Wishing you a happy & safe holiday season
from all of us at Eve's Fund

December 2012

Yá’át’ééh Friends of Eve's Fund!

As 2012 draws to a close, we want to thank you for all you have done to support us in promoting hope and wellness for Native American youth. Eve's Fund has had another good year and we continue to make a difference in the lives of young people across the Navajo Nation. Here are a few highlights:

• More than 2,500 students have a greater chance of avoiding brain and spinal cord injuries thanks to our dedicated ThinkFirst Navajo team. The personal stories of our VIP speakers--who all live with paralysis--made quite an impact at school presentations across the Reservation.

• Hundreds of elementary students are reading more (and enjoying it) after their schools received a Teaching Bookshelf filled with books from the popular Magic Tree House series.

• Sixteen young Navajos have become positive role models for their friends, family, and community through their experiences as members of Eve's Fund Boy Scout Troop 928.

• Six dedicated students at Navajo Preparatory School have a better shot of attending college after receiving an Eve's Fund scholarship, which will allow them to focus on their studies instead of fees and finances.

For those of us who have lost loved ones, especially children, this time of year can be sadder than it is happy. However, our lives our brighter knowing that our precious daughter Eve would be proud of what we are doing in her name and memory.
 
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to all of you, along with warm wishes for a happy and safe holiday season.

From Eve's parents,

About Eve's Fund

In 2005, Dr. Robert Crowell established Eve’s Fund for Native American Health Initiatives in memory of his daughter, Eve Crowell, who died earlier that year. The overall mission of Eve's Fund is to promote hope and wellness among Native American youth through our literacy, injury prevention, education, and mental health programs on and around the Navajo Reservation in Arizona, New Mexico & Utah.

Thanks to the support of numerous individuals and organizations, Eve's Fund has made a positive impact on thousands of young Native Americans since 2005, but there are thousands more still living without hope for a better future. These are the young people we want to reach in 2013 and the years to come.

Eve’s Fund is actively managed by Eve's family members along with a non-paid board of directors. Find out more at evecrowellsfund.org.
