Highlighting Our Volunteers:

Francine Zick:

NewPASSAGES would like to congratulate Francine (Event Committee Member) and her husband Dave on becoming first time grandparents and to say “thank you” for all your support to NewPASSAGES.

Francine has been a volunteer and philanthropist on several fundraising committees for many years.  Some organizations that have benefited from Francine’s work are Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, the University of Michigan-Flint, The Baldwin Center, NewPASSAGES, HAVEN, the Upland School and the Hope Center.  Not only does she donate her time serving food to the homeless, but she also serves on numerous fundraising committees as well as donating her own funds for leadership, “innovation and incentive gifts”.  More recently, she has helped raise funds for the “Legends and Heroes” Gala, an event that aims to not only educate people about mental disabilities.  Everyone who works with Francine benefits from her great wisdom, skills, philanthropy and kindness. 

Francine is a finalist for the Jewell Award for Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser.

Congratulations and thank you Francine.
