VIOLENCE: CALIFORNIA

Group Creates Araujo Memorial Fund

Family, Bay Area foundation

5/1/2004

The family of a transgender teenager slain in Newark has joined forces with a San Francisco philanthropic group to create a memorial fund to support school programs focusing on transgender issues.

The teenager -- who was born Eddie Araujo but lived and identified as a young woman named Gwen -- was beaten and strangled after four men learned that the 17-year-old was biologically male, authorities contend.

The Gwen Araujo Fund is accepting donations by mail or online via the Horizons Foundation Web site at http://www.horizonsfoundation.org
