We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dawn Morden. The Brian Morden Foundation was started under CPCF in 2003. Thank you Dawn for your passion, you will be greatly missed!!!!!
We are saddened to share the news that our leader, Dawn Morden, passed away Friday evening, June 3. She had been diagnosed with lymphoma in August. She was passionate about this Foundation and the legacy of her son, Brian. She was a loving mother, daughter, and sister. Family was so important to her. Dawn was also a gifted teacher; talented musician; and caring, compassionate friend. She loved to travel and explore, and was always ready for the next adventure. She has impacted the lives of so many in this community and beyond, and will be sorely missed.

Voluntarios de la Fundación Mural Talks de Pensilvania, en coordinación con Costa Rica Soccer Tours , pintaron este hermoso mural en la cancha de fútbol de la escuela Pacífica Fernández en Hatillo. 🎨
Para diseñar el mural, los voluntarios trabajaron junto con los niños de la escuela y los invitaron a pintar las huellas de sus manos en el mural cuando estuviera terminado. 🖐️
Esta obra es el producto del esfuerzo y colaboración entre la fundación Mural talks, su artista fundadora Pamela Snyder-Etters y la empresa costarricense - estadounidense Costa Rica Soccer Tours
