History: 
Founded in December 2012, The Michael Botte Foundation was established in memory of Michael Botte by his wife, friends and colleagues. Mike’s life ended way too early at the age of 40 after just an 8 week battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Mike was survived by his wife, a two year old daughter, an unborn son, his parents, brother, sister and countless friends and colleagues. Mike’s life ended way too soon, but his passion for education and making a difference lives on through the foundation.
