There were recently 2 awards given out in Fort's name...
*The Cincinnati Kelts Rugby Club gave out the Melissa "Fort" McLaughlin Spirit Award to Patty Williams.
*Our alma matter Kettering Fairmont High School gave the the Melissa Fortener McLaughlin "B" Positive Spirit Award to Cassie Sant. Cassie is a tremendous basketball player at Fairmont and is being heavily recruited by a number of schools...Notre Dame to name just one! I am sure that was music to the ears of both Donnie and Nick who are huge Fighting Irish fans!

I believe both are to be annually given awards. At Fairmont there will be a plaque put in the Trent Arena and new award winners will be added to it each year.
I know Fort would have been (and is) honored to have these 2 amazing awards given to such deserving people in her honor...her family and, of course, I could not be more proud!
Thanks for tuning in...as news and updates become available you will be the first to know so keep tuning in!
Lots of love,
