Larisa Alexandra Karassik’s life was tragically cut short on May 23, 2015. It was Memorial Day weekend, and Larisa, like so many others, was enjoying one of the traditional joys of the holiday weekend: going out for ice cream. Larisa, together with her best friend, was seated in the back seat of the car being driven by her father, when a speeding truck ran a stop sign and plowed into the side of their car, killing Larisa and seriously injuring her father and friend. The driver of the truck was drunk and on prescription drugs. Larisa was only 13 years old at the time of that fatal accident.

With overwhelming support from the Rockland County community, the Karassik’s were inspired to continue the circle of giving and assisting others whose lives have been similarly shattered by establishing the Larisa Karassik Foundation, in memory of Larisa. The foundations goal is to continue Larisa’s legacy by reaching out and helping other families who have similarly lost a beloved child and whose lives have been shattered by drunk and drugged driving.
