Mrs. Debra Reddrick-Hamlet served as Board Chair since our inception.  Unfortunately, she passed away in October of 2022 after being a vital piece to our growth and a pillar in the community that she served tirelessly.  Because of her endless passion and dedication to this organization as well as her life's work to youth, family, and all those she came in contact with we will forever recognize the work she did and carry that torch with us in all that we do!  Debra "Deb" will be missed.  We thank and honor her by spreading love and making a difference every chance we get!
