Hannah Mansell Memorial Happy Day Walk/Run : Sept. 28

Updated on 09/06/2024

A Memorial walk/run was started in 2021 in Honor of Hannah Mansell. A graduate of Jacksonville High School, Hannah was an American Sign Language Interpreter in the Mattoon School District and absolutely loved her job working with so many students.    Hannah was the brightest light, bringing joy to every room she entered. Mark your calendars and make plans to join us.  Whether you want to run for time or just walk with friends, help us make September 28th a "Happy Day".   Please help us spread kindness in Hannah’s name, and raise money for those who were dear to her heart. Proceeds will go to the Hannah Mansell Happy Day Memorial Fund, to be distributed to the EIASE students with whom she worked, and to establish a scholarship in Hannah’s name for ASL students at William Woods University, her Alma Mater.   For more information contact:   Kathy Mansell @  kmansell1@gmail.com   Click Here
