GRACE RODRIGUEZ ENDOWED FUND

Graciela Maria "Grace" Rodriguez passed away on September 5, 2022 following a brief illness. She was known as a dedicated mother, attorney, athlete and philanthropist. To honor her legacy, Grace's family and friends are creating the Grace Rodriguez Endowed Fund which will support the Horizons at Sacred Heart University (HSHU) program, a cause near and dear to her heart.

With your help, the goal is to raise more than the $25,000 necessary to establish an endowed fund that will exist in perpetuity. This new fund will help support the important work HSHU provides to low-income students from Bridgeport, CT in their K-8 programs. These critical services are dedicated to enhancing the lives of young learners through academic enrichment programs that create joyful learning experiences and fuel each student’s passions.

Should the philanthropic investments not reach $25,000, the funds raised will become immediately available for use by HSHU for the intended purposes previously outlined.
