Q: What is your favorite experience so far with Connor’s Heroes?
A: I thought the Heroes Art Ball was incredible. I watched the kids celebrate their amazing artistic creations. I look forward to volunteering with Erin in clinic. From what I heard, spending the day in clinic is a great experience. I think that will become my next favorite experience with CHF.

Q: Why do you believe it is important to give back to your community?
A: It’s easy to enjoy our communities and the benefits they provide to us. It’s also easy to overlook the fact that communities require effort and resources to maintain and improve them. We have to be willing to give back by way of relationships, volunteering, financial resources, etc. Our communities can be as great as we are willing to make them.
