Marvin
Mones Memorial Scholarship Fund
The
Marvin Mones Memorial Scholarship Fund has been
established to provide a living legacy to the life
and work of the late Dr. Marvin Mones. Dr. Mones,
a brilliant and compassionate pediatrician, dedicated
his life to promoting the health and well-being
of children and families and was deeply devoted
to the work of the Lourie Center. The Fund will
generate the annual funds needed to assure services
for low-income children and families who cannot
afford the full cost of care. Through the provision
of these services, Dr. Mones' vision of helping
children achieve their full potential, developmentally
and emotionally, will be realized. To contribute
to this Fund, please send your gift to the Reginald
S. Lourie Center, noting it is for the Marvin Mones
Memorial Scholarship Fund.
