Christena Huntsman Durham grew up watching her father, Jon Huntsman Sr., give back to the community faster than he could make money. “His drive to make money was to give it away,” she says. “He wanted to make a difference because he saw all the good that came from it.” Huntsman Sr. was part of the original The Giving Pledge with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, and his generosity made a difference in countless lives. Those early lessons in giving back stuck with Durham as she raised her seven children. When Huntsman Sr. passed away, his foundation was turned over to the next generation. Durham and her siblings were tasked with finding the “cancer of their generation” — and they chose mental health. Thank you, Christena, for everything you've done to support our work. We are grateful. https://lnkd.in/gKvd4eWP
