michelle carew community courtyard Mayers

Dedicated Sept . 17, 1999
The Michelle Carew Community Courtyard features a bronze statue bust of
Michelle with the family’s Rottweiler dog Hunter. The statue is placed in the
Angel Stadium perimeter plaza, located just inside Gate 3.
Michelle Carew passed away April 17, 1996 at the age of 18 after a courageous
battle with leukemia. Michelle, daughter of former Angel and Hall of Famer Rod
Carew, became ill Sept. 10, 1995 and was diagnosed with acute non-lympho-
cytic leukemia (ANLL), Sept. 18. In the months that followed, the Carew family
went on a nationwide publicity campaign that generated more than 70,000
phone calls to the National Bone Marrow Program. As a result, phone calls from
minorities more than doubled weekly, and overall donor registration increased
by 33 percent.
INSCRIPTION: This courtyard was dedicated September 17th 1999 in loving
memory of Michelle Carew. Her spirited battle against leukemia raised aware-
ness of the National Marrow Donor Program throughout this country. In the
process, her legacy has saved countless lives. “When she went to sleep, she
woke up the world.”
