Honoring

               Mary Lou Makepeace

Her mark on Colorado Springs has been bold, compassionate, and diverse. The first – and only, as she will tell you- Female Mayor of Colorado Springs, Mary Lou Makepeace has broken down walls so that the community as a whole can thrive. Her legacy as a trailblazer deserves recognition that will live on long past her, or any of our lifetimes.

 

The Mary Lou Makepeace Foundation for Women Who Made Colorado Springs is dedicated to memorializing and celebrating women who advocated public service, leadership, stewardship, and Civic Engagement; along with the many contributions of women throughout history in the Pikes Peak region. The first goal of this Foundation is to build a bronze statue in the likeness of Mary Lou Makepeace and to place it in a location that is of significance to her story. 

 

We are in the early phases of this project, and have not yet settled many of the details. The Foundation will be hosting both public and private events to raise funds and educate the public on this project. Our social media will go live in the coming month which will provide up to the minute information about the project.
