 Roy McCune - Jeannette and
Rosemary Fund
LeRoy K. McCune has seen first-hand the great
influence that a mother's loving care and wise counsel has on the
character and behavior of her children. He has also observed the
DCF's strong commitment to Delaware's children.
Therefore, when Roy decided to create a charitable fund
to help Delaware's children, he came to the DCF and established the
Jeannette and Rosemary Fund. The fund is a memorial to two special
mothers and the wonderful children they raised. Jeannette was Roy's
first wife and the mother of his three children. Rosemary was Roy's
second wife and the mother of his five stepchildren.
"Thoughtfulness and care about children in their
formative years goes a long way. It is my hope that this memorial fund
will help provide loving care and wise counsel to many youngsters, some
of whom might otherwise stray aimlessly into troubled lives," noted Roy
McCune. He is particularly interested in educational and personal
development programs, including mentoring, after school activities,
preschool programs and group programs in the arts and sports.
Roy, who is retired from DuPont, started his
donor-advised fund at the DCF in December 1999 with appreciated stock,
and plans to add to it annually in continuing support of the DCF's
programs for children. He expressed confidence that "the Foundation will
determine how best to use the assets of the fund on behalf of Delaware
children long after I'm gone." |
