In its second century, Goldey-Beacom College reaffirms its commitment to the proud tradition of providing accessible, high-quality, career-focused education.
The Lindsay Nicole Duck Memorial Fund was established in loving memory of Lindsay Duck (1990 – 2023), a student-athlete on the Goldey-Beacom Women’s Basketball Team serving from 2008-2011.
Lindsay’s parents, family and friends have gathered together with love and devotion to establish a memorial fund to support mental health and wellness programs at Goldey-Beacom College.

An avid sports fan, with a larger-than-life personality, Lindsay accomplished much in her short life before falling into depression. That depression, for which she refused counseling and treatment, eventually led her to take her own life.
The family wishes to provide support to other young men and women with similar struggles with mental health issues, including depression and suicide, as a meaningful way to honor her memory and, most importantly, to hopefully save other families from the pain and sadness that her family is now experiencing.

(in honor of Lindsay Duck. My heartfelt condolences to Lindsay’s family. I played alongside Lindsay at Goldey, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have made it through college without her by my side. I too have struggled with mental health my entire life, but Lindsay has positively impacted my life to keep going. I am so sorry for your loss. Lindsay will always be in my heart. )
