Join us on October 2, 2021, for the 3rd Annual Lauren McCluskey Memorial Event, a powerful day of remembrance, reflection, and action in honor of Lauren’s life and legacy. Hosted by the Lauren McCluskey Foundation, the event will include a heartfelt gathering and a special dinner and auction, with all proceeds directly benefiting programs that reflect Lauren’s enduring passions.
The Foundation’s mission is to improve the response to relationship violence and stalking on college campuses. Through education, advocacy, and outreach, the Foundation is transforming how colleges respond to dating violence, stalking, and relationship abuse, while also investing in the wellbeing of student-athletes and animals in need.
Example initiatives include:
- Lauren’s Promise, a national pledge to believe and support victims who report threats
- The development of a Campus Safety Score to help students and families evaluate university safety practices
- Trauma-informed training for law enforcement and campus professionals
- Self-defense classes for women and girls
- Free virtual therapy for victims and survivors of relationship violence and stalking
This annual tradition brings together students, families, advocates, and community leaders in a unified effort to build safer, more compassionate environments on college campuses and beyond. It is both a tribute to Lauren’s spirit and a call to action to prevent future tragedies.
