The Lucy Fernandez Foundation, established in honor and loving memory of Luciana Cristina Fernandez, will provide scholarship and experiential learning opportunities for students at Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, her beloved school, to share in what generations of young women like Lucy were fortunate to experience – empowerment and success through the values founded in Tradition, Sisterhood, Spirituality, and Service. With “Mary in all things,” we’ll continue Lucy’s legacy of Faith, Kindness, Hope, and Love.
The Lucy Fernandez Foundation will also help create awareness around boater and watercraft safety by working with private and government agencies, both local and beyond, by aiding them in their initiatives that support, promote, and celebrate her favorite pastime and greatest passion, being on the water. By encouraging Awareness, Education, Safety, and Fun for the next generation of responsible boaters, Lucy’s experience will play an intricate role in reshaping the culture, keeping our children, friends, families, and communities safe, and preserving this beautiful way of life.
