<div>Patricia J. Creegan, M.S.W. was a passionate advocate for the true inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of life as well as an educator, family member, and friend. “Trish” lived her life helping others as well as teaching people to help others, but sadly her life was cut short in 2009 after a valiant fight against cancer.

<div>Trish is one of the co-founders of Pennsylvania's Education for All Coalition (PEAC) and is responsible for the vision of the organization. She was the spark that ignited our passion for inclusive education. PEAC's mission is to partner with schools, higher education institutions, and families to realize Trish's vision. Trish and friends developed professional development modules to help families use their voice to influence schools, and assist institutions of higher education in preparing teachers to effectively teach ALL children using successful inclusive practices.

<div>The memorial fund will help to continue this work through the annual award to an education professional (teacher, administrator, university professor, related service personnel, etc.) who demonstrates outstanding commitment to inclusive education; and to help compensate PEA's parent consultant network members and self-advocate members for the work that they do to assist families and educators.
