Stephen R. Lewis, M.D. Legacy Fund
Dr. Stephen R. Lewis, M.D., the husband of Cheryl Lewis, one of the founding board members of Reading Legacies, died September 21, 2010 after battling kidney cancer for more than a year. We are deeply honored that Cheryl has chosen Reading Legacies to be the beneficiary of any gifts in his memory.
Following discussions with Cheryl and her family, the Reading Legacies Board of Trustees decided to honor Steve’s life and carry on his legacy by directing all donations made in his memory into the Stephen R. Lewis, M.D. Legacy Fund for Reading Legacies which will provide ongoing support for the position of the President of Reading Legacies.

Diane Miller Family Literacy Memorial Fund
Diane was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother; she was also an educator, leader, volunteer, and dear friend. Throughout her life, Diane frequently championed the idea that children and communities benefit from positive relationships and foundational education and that we as individuals have a responsibility to meet these needs as much as possible in our own community.
We wish to carry Diane’s beautiful memory forward and in so doing, honor mothers of all types, as well as educators, and community volunteers, all of whom know the importance of empowering and educating families to ensure the best possible chance of success for their children.
