🎉 Big day at the NSU Cenla Campus!

We were honored to present a check alongside the President of NSULA, the incredible nursing staff, alumni, and development teams. Most importantly, we got to celebrate two amazing Lauren Vaughn Memorial Scholarship recipients, Jesci and Alexander! 🤩

✨During the presentation, we shared a core mission of the Lauren Vaughn Memorial Foundation:
1️⃣ Make a Plan
2️⃣ Have a Sober Driver
3️⃣ Get Home Safe.

We are so proud to partner with NSU Nursing- CENLA Campus and NSULA College of Nursing and School of Allied Health to support these students and help our community build the future of nursing. Thank you to everyone who comes together to back our vision. Lives depend on it! 💜🏥

🌟 After a short break following the LV5K, I wanted to take a moment to address a question we've received frequently from our new participants: Why the butterflies?

✨ After Lauren's tragic passing, we were determined to spread awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. This issue doesn't just affect one person; it can involve many more lives. Every decision we make impacts not only our own lives but also everyone associated with us.

🦋Our mission to honor Lauren's story has come to be known as the Butterfly Effect — LV's Story. Butterflies represented a special passion for Lauren, inspired by her entomology class at LSUA.

💜Through Lauren's story, our call to action is clear: Make a plan, have a sober driver, and get home safe. No more victims.

👕If you see shirts and sweatshirts with this logo, you will know the why behind it. By making a donation to the Lauren Vaughn Memorial Foundation, you can receive one of these shirts/sweatshirts and help us raise awareness. I'll be opening up another round of orders until May 3rd. You can click here to see the available options. There will be a two-week turnaround time for orders once placed. https://runsignup.com/Race/Store/LA/Alexandria/LV5K

Together, we can make a difference! 🦋
