“It’s neighbor helping neighbor, friends helping friends, with this small charity. The life, energy and love that Lawson brought to the community and world lives on through this charity, and the help it gives. I am proud to support, and be a part of, this incredible organization.”

“Friends for Lawson continues to remind us that there is still so much compassion in the world. And it is people like you all that give us hope that our elderly population will continue to be remembered and cherished.”

“I just wanted to thank you for your generosity in sharing this scholarship with me. It is an incredible honor to be given the opportunity to carry on the legacy of Lawson, and I hope to do it well.”

“On behalf of the Backpack Weekend Food Program, Inc. I want to thank you for the donation of $3,000 to the program. To remember a young person by funds that will help several young students in Gaston County who are hungry on the weekend is a generous gesture.”
