On Saturday, June 8th from 7 PM to 10 PM, at Sandy Burr Country Club in Wayland, there will be a fashion show and live auction to celebrate the life Lauren Dunne Astley. Lauren was a self-possessed young woman of energy, hope, and caring, who lived her life with laughter and to the fullest. Lauren Dunne Astley, 18, died on Monday, July 4, 2011 in Wayland, MA. The goal of the event is to celebrate Lauren’s life and all she accomplished in her short 18 years. The fund will support educational opportunities in our community to try to teach children and adults about healthy teen relationships, signs of troubled behavior, and self-esteem. Lauren was also a gifted musician, so the fund will also support others in their pursuit of the arts. Lauren was considerate of others and gave of her time to help those less fortunate. She went to help victims of Katrina on three separate occasions. The fund will support those who wish to live by Lauren’s example in supporting others inside and outside of our community.

100% of all proceeds will go directly to the Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund her parents set up in her honor. The Fund’s mission is to promote dynamic educational programs, particularly those in the areas of the development of healthy teen relationships, the arts, and community service. Tickets will be on sale through the Memorial Fund’s secure web site at http://laurendunneastleymemorialfund.org/ starting March 16th. Find us on Facebook at “Keep On Sparkling”.
