The Brooklyn Mae Carroll Scholarship Fund

Donation protected
On August 2, 2025, Brooklyn’s life was tragically taken by a drunk boater with prior convictions. At only 10 years old—she was an amazing, funny, kind, and compassionate girl with a heart of gold who left an unforgettable impact on everyone who knew her.

To honor her life and legacy, we have created the Brooklyn Mae Carroll Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will be awarded to hardworking students who embody Brooklyn’s spirit of kindness, determination, and love for life.

In addition, a portion of the funds will support nationwide awareness efforts about the dangers of drinking and boating. Through flyers, stickers, signs, and community campaigns, we hope to prevent another family from experiencing the heartbreak of losing a child to impaired boating.

Your generosity will help us:

Award scholarships in Brooklyn’s memory

Continue spreading awareness to keep families safe on the water ⚓

Carry Brooklyn’s light forward by creating lasting change

No donation is too small. Every gift helps us honor Brooklyn, support the dreams of others, and make our waterways safer for all.

Thank you for standing with us and keeping Brooklyn’s memory alive.
