“The greater Flint community has been truly blessed by the Mott Foundation’s philanthropic commitment to making a better life for those who live, work and play here. During my tenure at the Crim Fitness Foundation, I enjoyed sharing our vision for a healthier, more mindful community with the Mott leadership, and then working closely and intentionally in launching new programs to make health and wellness a community and family value. This was truly evident as we worked side by side in relaunching Community Education for Flint families and incorporating health and wellness into the very foundation of its core programming. This is a clear demonstration of Mott’s obvious investment in leadership and vision. This approach clearly stimulates dynamic thinking during times of both prosperity and challenge, and I’m confident it will continue to do so in the decades to follow. As I learned from Mott’s Flint team, it’s the people who make a difference, and it’s the people who make the work worthwhile.”
