Efroymson Family Fund

 

“The Fund brings us great joy and satisfaction. It unites our family in a mission to support people and places. I have found that helping others is a reward in itself, and I appreciate the opportunity to give to what we believe in and care about.”

- Lori Efroymson-Aguilera
