Philanthropy, Volunteerism & Community Service

Since the late 1970’s I have been a philanthropist donating tens of thousands of hours and dollars to a wide array of nonprofits and organizations for the betterment of our society.  As a volunteer, I began with providing free child care, working with other youth in scouts, earning the highest honors in Girl Scouting in the early 80’s and then continuing serving others into adulthood.  In no particular order, I have provided a partial list of the organizations my husband and I have supported throughout the last 30 years
