One recent example is the recognition bestowed upon the Forest Highlands Foundation by Northland Family Help Center (NFHC). At its annual breakfast in October, NFHC honored the Foundation with the Karen Kinne-Herman Legacy Award, recognizing a community member, group, or foundation that exemplifies commitment to NFHC’s mission through volunteerism, fundraising, and community connections. The Forest Highlands Foundation has supported NFHC for more than 13 years through the Arizona Community Foundation. Many residents may also recognize NFHC through the Recreation Department’s Adopt-A-Family holiday fundraising program. Since its launch in 2019, the program has grown from supporting one family and raising approximately $500 to assisting four families and raising nearly $20,000 in 2025!
With Special Thanks We are deeply honored to recognize Dr. Jean Brown for her many years of dedicated service to the Grants Committee. Her insight, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to the Foundation’s mission have been invaluable, setting a high standard for all who serve alongside her and those who will follow. Fun fact: Jean and her husband, Greg, launched the Foundation’s long-standing tradition of providing backpacks and school supplies to kindergartners at Killip Elementary School, a legacy that continues to make a meaningful difference year after year.
Jean, your impact will be felt for years to come. You will be greatly missed, and sincerely thanked.
