Our disability pillar activities:

Our Disability Pillar Committee meets on a regular basis and collaborates on ways to support this pillar in our community. Some of their key tasks are:
  • develop and seek out fundraising opportunities
  • determine potential needs of people with disabilities and the organizations or programs that support them in central PA
  • make decisions on how to financially support those needs
  • choose recipients of any grant funding, as available
  • use social media and other means to connect with our community to raise awareness in support of this pillar

DISABILITY PILLAR COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Marlo Sweigard

I am the blessed mother of Hunter and Harmony. Our team, Harmony's Heroes, raises awareness for Down syndrome in honor of our daughter. My hope is that through fundraising, partnership, sponsors, and events, we show the world how our loved ones can succeed, accomplish and conquer all of their goals. I am a mother, a wife, and a business woman who puts one foot in front of the other each day to make it happen! 

Kimberly Herb, Chair

I have spent my career supporting young children with developmental delays and disabilities and their families. Through direct service, training and technical assistance, I gave 26 years total to that field. Parenting a child on the autism spectrum gave me valuable experience that helped in my work. Today I develop training and design elearning as a freelancer.
