“The music may have faded, but the joy, love, and light Sheryle brought into our lives will echo in our hearts forever.”
Donate to the fundThe Sheryle Schinke Memorial Fund was created to ensure that Sheryle's kindness, generosity, and joyful spirit continue to make a difference for generations to come.
Established through the Edmonton Community Foundation, the fund is a permanent endowment. Donations are professionally invested, allowing the fund to grow over time, and each year a portion of the investment earnings is granted to registered Canadian charities and initiatives that reflect the values Sheryle lived every day.
The Schinke family will recommend grants that honour Sheryle's legacy by supporting causes such as:
Because the fund is a permanent endowment, every donation becomes part of a legacy that continues to give back year after year. Rather than supporting a cause just once, each gift helps provide ongoing assistance to organizations making a positive difference in the lives of others.
Every donation, regardless of size, helps carry Sheryle's legacy forward and is eligible for an official charitable tax receipt through the Edmonton Community Foundation.
Whether someone chooses to give in Sheryle's memory today or many years from now, their gift becomes part of a lasting legacy that will continue touching lives for generations.
