The Don Scott Memorial Foundation was founded by Barbara and Donald R. Scott in honor of their loving husband and father Don Scott who passed away from a short yet courageous battle with colon cancer. The foundation’s purpose is to continue Don’s work by making a positive impact on people’s lives. Having been an educator and coach for over 40 years he dedicated his life towards guiding, encouraging, and inspiring the thousands of students who passed through his class room and ran on his teams. The foundation will embody the same core values that Don lived his life by to full fill its mission.
