Green Mountains Memories scholarship fund began in tribute to my father, Mark Forgette, who passed away in 2021. My dad had a passion for helping others. He was a caretaker for those with disabilities and used his lived experience with drugs and alcohol and education as a substance abuse counselor. He touched many lives and I would like to continue his good work by helping others interested in using their own lived experiences, knowledge, talents and gifting in the field of substance abuse and mental health.
