Erin’s Fund was established in 2002 for the purpose of helping young people find and obtain treatment
for their drug and alcohol addictions. Erin Jessica Moreken was a resident of our area, graduate of
Scranton High School, and student at Temple University, when she met a premature death at the age of
twenty eight due to a drug overdose. The Tour de Scranton is being held in her memory, so that young
people of our region may benefit from treatment and live their lives and their dreams by conquering
their addictions through treatment.
