A Gift from Rachel Foundation

was founded in 2004, in loving memory of Rachel, the only child of Steve and Joi Schrette. Rachel was a beautiful, bright, and healthy five-year old whose life was suddenly taken by meningococcal meningitis,on December 25, 2003. Rachel was a special little girl; her spirit touched many lives. She will never be forgotten. A Gift from Rachel Foundation is dedicated to the eradication of meningococcal meningitis through education, vaccinations, and advocacy; plus provides support for bacterial meningitis survivors and their families.

 

Bacterial Meningitis, like many vaccine preventable diseases is deadly. It knows no boundaries of race, age, geography, economic, or social class.
