Marshall has also raised over $498,000 for various charities, including the Religious Teachers Filippini, a small order of Sisters that promote the dignity of women and children in some of the poorest countries in the world – and here at home – by providing an education to those who previously had limited opportunities and choices in their lives. More than that, the Sisters also help provide the necessities of life: water, food, shelter, and clothing. Marshall believes that in fulfilling their mission to “Go and Teach” the Sisters are doing the real work of peace and justice in our world. See the Fundraising page for more information
