    Donations in the name of Ellen Fagenson Eland

     

     

    The family has all the material effects it needs and does not wish for any gifts to be given directly to the family, not even to our daughter Kelly.  Donations are encouraged to the following:

     

    A scholarship fund is being established in Ellen's name. For more information, see http://home.comcast.net/~kodner35/index.html  

          Donations are also encouraged to The Musella Foundation, which we consider to be the best source of information and
    leadership on brain tumor research.   For more information, see www.virtualtrials.com

            Alternatively, and this is what we are going to do with all of Ellen's personal effects, is to
    locate a women's professional clothing charity in your local community.

    Or, people could honor Ellen's compassion for animals and donate to the animal welfare charity of their choosing.

     

    Thanks again for your kindness

     

    Dave Kodner (Ellen's husband)

    Kelly Eland (Ellen's daughter)
