The Live Free Like Michelle Fundraiser came together after local residents and friends of Michelle's mother Patty Chalk, Kim Moore and Carrie Clukey, decided to put their efforts toward maintaining and bolstering contributions to the scholarship fund. Preserving Michelle's legacy through the award given in her honor each year serves the Fort Thomas community and is a way for residents to come together and continue the healing process which is never truly complete.

Ensuring the longevity and sustainability of the Michelle Chalk Scholarship through continued contributions is a way for the family to keep the memory of Michelle strong while inspiring and helping others.
MICHELLE CHALK: OUR HOMETOWN SWEETHEART
Patty and Keith launched the website MichelleChalkScholarshipFund.org where those who want to give can easily donate and stay up to date on the latest news. You may also visit Patty Chalk's blog, My Girl Michelle, to read personal reflections and memories of Michelle from family and friends.
From MichelleChalkScholarshipFund.org:
The Michelle Chalk Scholarship Fund was established to create scholarship grants to graduating seniors to keep the memory of Michelle Chalk alive in the community that she lived and loved.
Michelle Chalk's death was felt by her family, friends, and the community of Fort Thomas, KY. She was a beloved daughter, sister, niece, cousin and granddaughter. She was a friend to everyone she met. She loved singing, dancing and performing on stage.
Thanks to the donations of many people this fund has been created.RELATED: Highlands Student Ramey Hensley Wins First Michelle Chalk Scholarship

Michelle has entered the hearts of those who knew her personally and those who have only heard about her kind and generous soul.

She is truly Fort Thomas' Sweetheart.
