Marketa's Journey
Marketa McCabe was passionate about the environment and believed everyone should experience the outdoors. As an engineering student, she advocated for underrepresented women in STEM fields.
Unfortunately, after being sick with COVID, Marketa was diagnosed with a high cardiac arrhythmia. Tragically, on March 13, 2021, her heart stopped in her sleep. Marketa was almost 20 years old. She had plans and ambitions to make the world a better place and touched many lives, even saving some.
The foundation awards scholarships to women of diverse backgrounds entering STEM fields. We promote the importance of nature and its conservation while also raising awareness of COVlD's effects on the hearts of young adults.
The Priscilla E. Frederick Foundation
The Priscilla E. Frederick Foundation was founded by Track & Field Olympian Priscilla Loomis. Mrs. Loomis is a 3x Hall of Fame inductee, 2x female athlete of the year recipient, National Record Holder, National Champion, and World Class Medalist.
The foundation supports single-parent households. We award scholarships to students from single-parent households and host women empowerment workshops. We also hold educational seminars for underserved communities and support community advocacy.
