Sherri King O'Connor CACF Memorial Fund

A Memorial Fund has been established in the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF) to honor and remember Sherri. The fund will support causes close to Sherri’s heart, particularly the areas of education and creating opportunities for underprivileged youth. Through the fund, Sherri’s immediate family will have the ability to determine how those funds are distributed over the months and years ahead.

Sherri King UVA Endowed Scholarship

The Sherri King Endowed Scholarship will be awarded in perpetuity to female U.Va. students who excel in finance, economics and/or math and who have demonstrated a passion for leadership, service and teamwork.  The scholarship intends to contribute to preserving Sherri’s legacy by nurturing future leaders who embody the same traits that we all valued so much in our beloved Sherri.  The funds will be invested through the U.Va. Fund, managed by the University of Virginia Investment Management Company (UVIMCO - Sherri's employer). As the Sherri King Endowed Scholarship fund grows, the support to deserving students will increase over time.  We hope to engage the scholarship award recipients all along their career arc, creating a community of young women that continue to be impacted by Sherri well after they have left the Grounds of U.Va.  Sherri's family and UVIMCO will be involved in the selection of the scholarship recipients.
