On this day for the past nine years, we have chosen to remember Keisha for the amazing light that she was to our lives and our community. This year Angel has a "special ask" of everyone on this special day. We hope that you will join us as we Remember Keisha today!

Give $15 in memory of #15

Since Angel started playing basketball, she always wore the #15. After the passing of Keisha in 2014, the #15 took on a different significance. That number pulled Angel closer to her mom and she channelled her mom's passion and energy each time she stepped on the court.

This year for our annual Remembering Keisha Day, Angel would like to raise $3,000 in her mom's memory and support the Angel Wings Fund. We just need 200 people to give at least $15 today to accomplish this goal.

Can you give $15 on this day to support the Angel Wings Fund?

Who was Keisha Brown?

The Keisha Y. Brown Angel Wings Fund was founded in 2007 by Keisha Brown, shortly after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, Keisha’s thoughts stayed with her then 1-year old daughter: Angel. While her own family and friends could help provide the extra support needed in this time, she knew not everyone had that support network. This led her to create the Angel Wings Fund as a way to provide support to other children in Angel’s situation. The organization’s mission is to “help other’s soar” and they do this by providing financial resources to families impacted by cancer as well as community outreach.

Today, the Keisha Y. Brown Angel Wings Fund continues to carry out Keisha’s legacy of compassion by offering scholarships to students attending Alma College, Central Michigan University and Sacred Heart Academy. They also offer several scholarships through the Mt. Pleasant Community Foundation. They have recently expanded to include the Denise Terwilliger and Family Fund which provides additional support in the form of meals and presents to families around the holiday season. Recently, the Angel Wings Fund donated $10,000 to Woodland Hospice to support families during their final days.
