Doug Henderson III Memorial Fund was established
in honor of Doug Henderson III, who was diagnosed in
2002 with synovial sarcoma, a rare form of soft tissue
cancer. After a valiant fight against the disease, Doug
passed away on September 6, 2003. Doug approached
his battle with cancer with the same determination
that he approached everyday life. He gave 100% to
his fight, just as he did with his education, he career,
and his relationships with friends and family. His
family and friends made a commitment to continue
to make a difference in the fight against this disease.
In April 2004, a charitable fund in Doug’s name was
established to support various charities, including
the Langdale Hospice House, LAMP, Habitat for
Humanity, FCA, Boys and Girls Club, Birthright,
South Georgia House of Hope, The Lowndes County
Partnership for Cancer Fund, and the Partnership for
Health Fund. It has provided over 175 scholarships
to young people in our community. To date, the Fund
has contributed over $375,000 to local organizations
and individuals. Visit our Facebook Page for more
