Dear Friends,
On Sunday, March 27th, 2011, The Katelyn Foundation will be holding its First Annual Walkathon: “Mason’s Walk for
Drowning Prevention”. Funds generated from this event could help save a child’s life.
The Katelyn Foundation was formed in memory of Katelyn T. Michaud who was only two years old when her life
was tragically cut short in a swimming pool accident on January 27, 2004. In response to her death, THE KATELYN
FOUNDATION, INC a not for prot 501(c)(3) (20-5595591) foundation was established by Katelyn’s mother and uncle
with the purpose of promoting child safety through public awareness and education. Our goal is to provide swim
lesson scholarships for the underprivileged families of Pasco & Pinellas Counties and prevent the loss or serious
injury of other precious children. Mason’s Walk is being organized by Jenna DeVito-Roisum, in memory of her
2-1/2 year old son, Mason, whose life was also tragically cut short in a swimming pool accident on March 27, 2009.
Both mother’s are hoping to prevent other parents from having to experience the heartbreaking loss of a child and
the far-reaching emotional burdens that follow.
