2018 Parkland shooting victim's mother establishes memorial fund to send underprivileged children to summer camps.
Linda Beigel Schulman, mother of slain teacher Scott Beigel, has established the Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund to honor her son's love for attending summer camp. Since the 2018 Parkland high school massacre, the fund has sent 264 children aged 9-16 to sleep-away camps in Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Most of the children come from underprivileged backgrounds or have been affected by gun violence. The camps provide a supportive environment for children to build friendships, learn to trust, and experience the great outdoors. The fund covers enrollment and transportation fees, with campers required to return each summer if they maintain good grades and stay out of trouble.
