This month, we’re hearing from Christine P. Wiegand, Esq., a Board Member of the Child Development Foundation, a longtime partner of the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund since 1994. 💚

We are incredibly grateful to the Child Development Foundation for more than 30 years of partnership and for their continued support of the families we serve. Their commitment has helped us carry our mission forward and continue making a difference in the lives of families raising children with disabilities and serious illnesses.

As we celebrate 50 years of the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund, Christine shares her hopes for our future and the next 50 years of our mission.

Thank you to Christine and the Child Development Foundation for being such an important part of our journey! 💚
