Alexandria Raquel LaBron-Carter Memorial Scholarship
Mental health struggles and the stigmatization of seeking help cut many lives short and tear families apart.
Alexandria Raquel LaBron-Carter was a beloved niece, daughter, granddaughter, wife, sister and mother who passed away too soon due to suicide at the age of twenty-five, leaving behind her husband, twin daughters, family and a host of friends, as well as her dreams and ambitions. In her life, Alexandria deeply loved animals and had the goal of becoming a veterinarian.
Alexandria is forever twenty-five and this scholarship aims to honor her life by supporting students who are passionate about pursuing higher education.
