“…Karen was a great help in guiding the Foundation in decision making as a member of our national Board of Directors. She mentored and motivated volunteers in her community and has been successful in organizing and executing several fundraisers.

We were really grateful for her assistance in organizing a Céline Dion Benefit Concert. Her easy-going manner, enthusiasm and expertise make it a pleasure to work with her.”

— June Pierotti, Director Communication, Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
