Fort Myers, FL – The Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a $10,000 donation this week from Make Our Schools Safe, a nonprofit founded by Parkland mother Lori Alhadeff, to strengthen local school safety initiatives.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Alhadeff met with Sheriff Carmine Marceno to discuss expanding the #SafeKidsSafeSchools mission, a program focused on protecting students through enhanced security measures and awareness campaigns.
The donation will help fund safety technology, officer training, and school outreach programs designed to improve emergency response times and promote a culture of prevention. Sheriff Marceno praised Alhadeff’s dedication, noting that her advocacy has made a significant impact in communities across Florida.
Alhadeff began her organization following the tragic 2018 Parkland school shooting, where she lost her daughter, Alyssa. Since then, she has become a leading national voice for improved school safety and policy reform.
Community leaders say the collaboration between Make Our Schools Safe and Lee County law enforcement will help ensure that students and staff are better protected during the 2025 school year.
