Honorary Gift: This year’s Spring Benefit coincides with Volunteer Appreciation Week, and in that spirit, we are proud to honor two remarkable women, Elizabeth Koehler and Sallye Zink for their exceptional service to Arm In Arm. Former Board Chair Elizabeth Koehler and Board Treasurer Sallye Zink have collectively served more than 20 years, with Sallye also having previously served on the board when we were the Crisis Ministry. Their steady, generous leadership has helped to guide Arm In Arm through a defining era. The pre‑ and post‑COVID years asked so much of our community and our organization, and because of their leadership, we have met these moments with strength, compassion and growth. We invite you to join us in celebrating their contributions by making an honorary gift in recognition of Elizabeth, Sallye, or both. Or perhaps you would like to make a gift in honor of someone special in your own life. To make your honorary gift, please click "Make a Donation" above and indicate on your registration form how you would like your recognition to appear in the program.
