Beth Baumert, TDF’s President and CEO said, “Memories generally fade. However, the memory of Carol Lavell continues to blossom and grow. Carol was one of my favorite people in the world. She was a brilliant horsewoman, and a brilliant person. She was clever, hard-working, wise, vibrant, fun and very, very generous. TDF is honored to be able to offer multiple grants in her name year after year. Endless thanks to Carol and to her family.”
