Pam Posthumus dedicated her life of service to the community. Her passion for children led to her appointment of the Children’s Trust Fund Board of Directors in 1997. She was instrumental in launching the first Cherish the Children Signature Auction in 2003. Pam’s advocacy efforts led to the Trust Fund increasing from $13 million to $20 million. Through her efforts, Pam has left a lasting and meaningful legacy for our most vulnerable children.
