Meagan Toothman’s Spirit Scholarship

Meagan Toothman was a 2005 graduate of Turpin High School.  While at Turpin, Meagan was involved in a variety of sports, clubs, and activities.  She served as a positive role model both on and off the field.  Meagan could often be found volunteering or giving back to the Turpin community and Forest Hills District in many ways.  This path continued as she journeyed on to Wittenberg for four years.  The motto at Wittenberg University is “Having light we pass it on to others.”  This is something that Meagan strived to do each day.  This $1,500.00 scholarship will be awarded to two Turpin students who embody this same spirit of excellence and sense of care and compassion for the community.  The recipient(s) of this scholarship should meet the following criteria:

         *A positive role model

         *A valuable asset to the school and community

Wittenberg Homecoming 2024

Yesterday was a perfect fall day on the Wittenberg University campus, which Meagan loved so much. As Tim and I walked around, we realized that it had been 20 years since we first arrived for a college visit with Meagan. For her, it was love at first sight and she didn’t want to go anywhere else. Everything was as beautiful as ever! We would like to send a big thank you to Meagan’s Delta Gamma sisters at Witt for reaching out to us and for caring for the beautifully etched mirror in memory of Meagan. We had no idea this had been displayed in the previous DG house since her passing. Thank you for taking time to show us around the new DG house. We appreciate you! Thank you to the Wittenberg University Psychology Department for helping us keep Meagan’s legacy and story alive in a place that she loved so much. We were honored to meet with and hear the stories of this years recipients of the Meagan Toothman Psychology Scholarship, Aisha Khan and Gabriella Lillico. These young people are truly passing on their light. #Havinglightwepassitontoothers #DoGood

Thank you to everyone who made this special moment possible.

With much gratitude-Melissa, Tim and Forever Meagan

Meagan's Legacy and Impact

This month marks 10 years since The Meagan Toothman Foundation officially became a 501(c)(3) organization. We want to take a moment and thank all of Meagan’s supporters and donors over the years, including the initial donations that were received for scholarships specifically at Turpin High School.

We want to take a moment to thank our board members who have worked with us over last 10+ years to ensure that Meagan’s work of helping children reach their dreams continues. For our board members and for us, this is truly a labor of love. We are a small group doing mighty work in honor of Meagan and her memory. As of today, there have been 114 scholarships awarded in Meagan’s name to deserving students.

  • Turpin High School-78 scholarships

  • Heart of a Champion Award at Turpin High School-4 awards

  • Wittenberg University- 19 scholarships

  • University of Cincinnati-13 scholarships

In addition to these scholarships at the three places that helped to shape Meagan into the person and professional she had become, The Meagan Toothman Foundation, has provided support and donations to Turpin After Prom for 10 years; FHFE 5K for 9 years; Anderson Park District’s Run to Remember; Lighthouse Youth Services; Western Hills Gymnastics Program; and various programs at Mercer Elementary.

All of these donations have been given to causes that were important to Meagan. They would not be possible without our board members, supporters of Meagan’s Golf Tournament, Turpin Cheer Clinic participants, and all of you who have given your support and donations to Meagan’s Foundation. We want to again say thank you for helping us to continue the work that our sweet Meagan is no longer here to do. We know she would be incredibly proud of the work and would be humbled by her legacy and impact on the successes of students and programs.

With much gratitude,

Melissa Oakley (Meagan’s mom)
