Instead of sending flowers, the Bells have requested that people should kindly make donations to one of four charities that Meagan worked closely with and would like to see their good work continue. The four charities are Golf For Autism, Special Olympics, Best Buddies and Opportunities. For more information on each, please visit the websites that are linked below. Gof Fore Autism does not have a website as it is a smaller organization that runs a yearly tournament that has raised money for autistic children in Western Massachusetts with which Meagan was actively involved.
Please be sure to follow the directions very closely as we would like to be able to keep a track on how much has been raised on behalf of Meagan for each of the charities and also be able to reach out to all of you later and thank you for your kindness.
