Our Missions
The Leigh Leckerman Foundation was created to honor the memory of a lovely young woman who lost her life to alcohol. It is dedicated to helping others take the first step to recovery at any of our partner drug & alcohol addiction treatment facilities, on the east coast or across the country.
Testimonials
“I was thrown a life preserver. My Leigh Leckerman Scholarship gave me an opportunity. Someone I didn’t even know was funding this for me. Someone believed in me.”
— Kelly O’Brien
“The moment I tried to check into rehab and found out I did not have the money or insurance, I was ready to do what I did best…run. That was the story of my life… running back to the needle as I did so many times before. It took me to Houston where I was homeless, and later to Harrsiburg, living in a mission. I will never forget the hope and opportunity Leigh’s Scholarship has given me.”
