Gloria Casarez may be gone, but a new fundraising campaign aims to ensure that Philadelphia’s first director of the Mayor’s Office of LGBT Affairs continues to have an impact, even after her death.

The website, simply titled “Remembering Gloria,” offers visitors the opportunity to purchase both a T-shirt and a pin; all proceeds from the sales will benefit the Gloria Casarez Scholarship Fund for Latino students attending Casarez’s alma mater, West Chester University.

For those wishing to make a donation without purchasing the T-shirt or pin, they can do so by money to WCU Foundation, In Memory of Gloria Casarez, P.O. Box 541, West Chester, PA 19381.

Ms. Casarez died on October 19 this past year after battling cancer.
