As we celebrate C.U.R.E.’s 50th Anniversary, it’s important to remember that an organization’s legacy isn’t created by one person. It’s built over time by the many people who believe in its mission, give their time and talents, and dedicate themselves to the Families C.U.R.E. serves.
At C.U.R.E.’s Golden Gala, we were honored to recognize one of those people with the Impact & Legacy Award: Former Executive Director, Holly Dutcher. ✨
For 12 years, Holly devoted herself to C.U.R.E. and to the Families at the heart of our mission. Her commitment went far beyond a job or title. She poured her energy, creativity and heart into leading the organization, strengthening its presence in our community, building relationships with supporters and, most importantly, keeping Families at the center of everything we do.
If you know Holly, you know her commitment to C.U.R.E. extended well beyond herself. She always had a way of bringing her entire family into everything she did! There were plenty of days when you could walk into Holly’s office and find a little Dutchling happily hanging out while Mom went about her C.U.R.E. business. Over the years, her kids even began volunteering on their own — from putting craft kits together in the office to helping at events like the Survivors’ Day Picnic.
Holly instilled a love for C.U.R.E. in the Dutchlings and showed them by example what it means to give back selflessly. C.U.R.E. was never simply a place where she worked. It was a mission she cared deeply about and one she made part of her life.
As we celebrate C.U.R.E.’s history, we also look toward its future — built on the foundation created by those who came before us. Holly is an important part of that foundation.
On behalf of the C.U.R.E. Board, staff, volunteers, supporters and, most importantly, the Families whose lives have been touched by C.U.R.E., thank you, Holly, for your years of service, your dedication, your heart and the lasting impact you have made.
Your impact will remain part of C.U.R.E. and the Families we serve for years to come. 💛
