All of us at the Big League Philanthropist are saddened by the tragic passing of Katie-Jay Scott and her husband Gabe. Katie-Jay Scott was the Executive Director of iAct and an incredible philanthropist. She and her husband leave behind three children and countless refugee families supported through iAct. We had the pleasure to interview Katie-Jay on Season 2 of BLP and her passion was contagious.
Please consider donating to support her children as they navigate this unfathomable loss at this Go Fund Me page. And please keep Katie-Jay and her husband's dreams of ensuring refugees are not forgotten alive by donating to support iAct and their mission.
