As a club, our Board is starting this fundraiser for COVC and for a scholarship fund in Megan Lambert’s name, with Megan’s family’s blessing.

A school shooting at Silver Rail Elementary took the life of teacher and coach Megan Lambert. We would rather be announcing Megan on our coaching staff as we prepare for the season, but this year Megan’s role is different. Megan will always have a role in our club.

This scholarship reflects something Megan cared deeply about. In Megan’s first year coaching volleyball, Megan did not want to be paid. Megan wanted that money to go to athletes who could not afford to play. That generosity and care for others is exactly why we are creating this fund: to keep Megan’s legacy alive and to give athletes the opportunity to play volleyball when cost might otherwise stand in the way.

Donations to this scholarship fund will help cover COVC club volleyball fees for athletes who may not be able to afford to play. Because this need will continue over time, recurring donations can help make sure more athletes have that opportunity in Megan’s name season after season. One-time gifts are also deeply appreciated and will make an immediate difference.

If you feel led to help, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Thank you for helping honor Megan Lambert through the kindness, opportunity, and love for athletes that meant so much to Megan.

This GoFundMe is an addition and in conjunction with the Seed Fund that Megan’s family is creating around another of Megan’s passions, helping children with mental health needs. We share this with deep respect so supporters can understand the purpose of this fund and the different ways Megan’s legacy is being honored.
