At 1pm today, family and friends will gather to honor little Marlie Dodson.
For those who didn’t know Marlie but who have been inspired by her story, her courage, and her life, we have another way that you can honor her. Her mom, Sarah, is establishing the Marlie Dodson Scholarship at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, FL.
Marlie LOVED cheering for UCF Sports- especially football and basketball! According to her mom, Marlie talked a lot about going to UCF, being a cheerleader and becoming a nurse. Therefore, the scholarship will be open to student athletes and/or students wishing to enter the medical field.
Please consider donating toward the establishment of this scholarship. You can donate as little as $1 or as much as your heart leads you to give. ALL funds collected will be delivered to the UCF Foundation, inc. for the scholarship.
Note: You do NOT have to have a paypal account to donate. Simply click the link above and then click again to the left of the login box where it says “Use your credit card or bank account”.
If you prefer, you can mail a check directly to UCF Foundation, inc., 12424 Research Parkway, Suite 250, Orlando, FL 32826. Checks should be made payable to UCF Foundation, inc. Be sure to put “Marlie Dodson Scholarship” in the memo line.
Thank you for honoring Marlie and for helping us keep her memory alive! By the way, how is your Marlie Resolution coming along? It’s never too late to start Living Like Marlie!!

Hi there, Sarah and I are meeting soon to discuss Marlies scholarship. Have you received any donations towards her scholarship fund? If so, I would love to have a total to share with UCF. How and when did you plan to send the donations to the Foundation? Thanks, April Agnew
Hi April, yes we have received donations. Will get you a total. Was planning to contact you to see if you want the check to take to the Foundation or if we should just send it directly. Will email you to arrange. Sending love from us to you and yours.
