“My family has always been supportive of my desire to give back to our community.” says Tracy, “Volunteering is truly a part of who I am.”

Tracy began volunteering at her children’s schools, creating and running multiple events to help bring the community together while raising funds.  It was at the Crystal Ball that Tracy was first introduced to the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation.

“I was approached by a Board member to consider joining the Foundation Board,” recalls Tracy.  “With my background in finance and my own personal commitment to making a difference, it felt like an opportunity for me to make a meaningful contribution to the community I now called, home.”

For Tracy, engaging with the broader community while helping to raise critical funds for her community hospital has made volunteering fulfilling.

“Being a part of the Foundation Board has allowed me to give thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff that work tirelessly to ensure we have exceptional healthcare delivered in our community,” says Tracy. “It has allowed me to meet and thank donors, both major donors and the children who set up a lemonade stand and let them know the impact they are making to healthcare in Burlington.”
