MAK Scholarship

The Mark Andrew Kreusch Memorial Fund was founded by his family to honor Mark’s life and spirit. Mark was four years old when his life suddenly ended in a boating accident on August 11, 2007. Mark loved his family, his friends, and embraced life by enjoying all that he did. His zest for life shined through his smile and giggle. Mark’s parents vowed to keep his spirit alive by enriching the lives of other children. His family and friends will miss him dearly. Their dream is to continue his legacy. Through various projects the fund will “Leave a MARK on a child’s life”.
