It truly takes a community!

Late last year, Defibtech’s Ben Chopra reached out with a generous offer: he wanted to donate an AED to a local nonprofit. Around the same time, SARAH Tuxis Executive Director Beth Kinnare and her husband, Shawn (who also serves as our Vice President), were preparing for the arrival of their grandchild and had just completed a CPR course. Through that experience, Beth gained a deeper understanding of how critical access to an AED could be for her clients and staff.

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect — and we were thrilled to make the match!

With deep fondness and gratitude, the Guilford Community Fund bids adieu to Barbara Catlin after more than 17 years of dedicated service. Barbara has been instrumental in managing and tracking donations throughout the years, and her commitment has made a lasting impact on our work. Thank you, Barbara—you will be truly missed!

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back with just a few hours a month, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to [email protected]
