5th Annual 'Live Like Cat' Bean Bag Tourney

Caitlyn Carman had a passion for life, for family and friends, and for education. Cat (as she was called by her friends) loved to laugh and had a habit of making others do the same. She was a dedicated cheer and dance participant since she was a little girl, because, she made so many friends who became family.

And she knew the importance of holding family close, having lost her father to ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). She was a kind, loving, young woman, pursuing her dream at USD (University of South Dakota) of becoming a special education teacher. She had a desire to motivate others, especially children, to live their best lives.

On March 8, 2018, she was killed in a senseless auto accident that devasted all who knew her.

But her spirit and dedication to doing good in our world live on through the Live Like Cat Foundation, created by Caitlyn's mom, Barb Olson. So far the foundation has donated close to 3,000 books to local classrooms and community events and has also awarded education scholarships.
