On July 12, 2008 the life of Nancy Cooper came to a sudden end. Her loved ones lost a sister, daughter and best friend. Nancy was a woman full of grace, a mother who loved her children without limits and a friend who took everyone under her wing. We have questioned how we can bring something positive from this devastation; our answer has become our desire to help women and children leaving domestic violence situations. This is the chrysalis for “Nancy’s Butterfly Fund” that will strive to help women and children trapped in domestic violence.
Friends of Cary murder victim Nancy Cooper have created Nancy’s Butterfly Fund in Cary, North Carolina, a fund that will provide financial assistance to women and their children leaving abusive relationships. After a successful series of fundraising events in 2009, Nancy’s Butterfly Fund is taking their presence statewide by partnering with The North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCCADV), a statewide non-profit membership organization providing support services to local domestic violence agencies and allied professionals.
