Darcy Blair Memorial Educational Fund
The DARCY BLAIR MEMORIAL EDUCATIONAL FUND was established by the family of Dr. Darcy Blair with the many contributions made by her teachers, patients and friends who remembered her as someone who felt she had a responsibility to be a positive influence in the world. The fund had been conceptualized by Dr. Blair several years before she was diagnosed with cancer. She had written a plan to create an "opportunity fund" that would help girls pursue an interest that would otherwise not be possible. The fund provides financial assistance for scholastic or experiential learning activities to young women who are actively pursuing long-term academic goals that will enable them to establish a career and become self-sufficient. The award amount is to be determined. The number of awards granted will depend on the funds available. To request an application go to the Community Foundation of Louisville web site and fill in a request form or write or call the Director of Grants 502-585-4649 X1005 at alexs@cflouisville.org (e-mail preferred).

It is renowned for its cattle-raising, Mirandês (a language dialect located between Portuguese and Castillian), its Pauliteiros (stick dancers), “Capes of Miranda” (cloaks worn for festivals), Celtic revivalism, and “Top-Hatted Baby Jesus.” It is also the gateway to the Natural Park of the International Douro.
