Mel’s Memorial Fund

MEL FOODY’S FRIENDS HAVE SUPPORTED US IN FUNDRAISING FOR THE RUBY SLIPPER FUND WITH A VERY GENEROUS DONATION

Mel’s Memorial Fund was established in memory of Melanie Jane Foody, who passed away from Cancer on April 29, 2019.

Mel lived in Roberts Creek with her four great kids.

She loved her family, the beach, as well as hiking with her friends and dogs.

Every year, Mel hosted a dance party in November for friends to dance away the winter doldrums. At the end of the evening, a hat was passed around for those who wanted to make donations. These donations were used to support families in make their lives just a little bit easier.

When Mel passed away, we decided to keep up the tradition and hosted a local dance party at the Roberts creek Legion. It was a great event and was the start to Mel’s Memorial fund.

When Covid hit, the group had to get creative with fundraising. They decided to make and sell handmade donuts…which were Mel’s favorite.

Through donut sales and dance parties, Mel’s Foundation has been honoured to support the Ruby Slipper.

Mel’s Memorial Fund wants to thank everyone who attended, donated, played music, decorated, baked, danced and spared their time for Mel’s Dance Party 2024. We are pleased to announce that everyone’s efforts raised over $9000, all of which goes to help local Sun Coasters with some of the financial challenges of a cancer diagnosis. Peace, love, health and gratitude to all.
