“Bill has worked tirelessly to support any event that he is asked to and has been a champion in challenging others to give to our Capital and Major Gifts campaigns,” said Foundation executive director, Karen Mitchell. “He also has a big heart. He has hosted the Indian Lake Loop 5K every Thanksgiving for the past 12 years.”
