Perry, Lisa S. Scholarship
The brilliant and special life of two-year old Megan Littlejohn came to a tragic end in July 2012 as a result of a car accident. But the spark of love she lit among her family and all who knew her helped her family, her parents, older brother and extended family through their grief. The amazing support they received from friends and family, as well as Child Life Specialists and Grief Counselors, helped them begin the journey forward, toward healing. The Megan Littlejohn Foundation was established in Megan’s cherished memory and to help other families going through similar tragedies. The foundation currently supports Cornerstone of Hope’s child counseling services and Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital Child Life Department.
The Lisa S. Perry Scholarship was established in 2017, and revised in 2018 and 2020, by the Megan Littlejohn Foundation in honor of Lisa Perry, a Child Life Specialist who provided invaluable support to the Littlejohn family.
