"When there is a person who’s happy, who is clear, they are a pleasure to be with. When you are lit, you’re giving light. You’re giving light. And if you walk into a dark room, and there are fifty people in that room, and they don’t have candles but you do, all of them will benefit. All of them will benefit, because you will bring the light into the room. It’s not like you can say, ‘Oh, no, no! This is my light only.’ But when you bring it in, the darkness will be gone, and all fifty people will benefit."
~ Prem Rawat
The purpose of the Isadora J. Seibert Foundation is to acknowledge how much light Isadora brought to this world. One way is to award college scholarships annually, highlighting the fields of education and the sciences. Another way is to financially support research of fibrolamellar cancer. Because this cancer is so rare, research is only funded through private donations.
It is the Foundation's wish to honor Isadora by continuing her legacy of helping others, mirroring her light and love as that is the way she lived every day of her life.
