Dr. Sara Henry

Dr. Sara Henry has had a lifelong love affair with nature. "I suppose I've been an environmentalist since I was young. I grew up in Appalachia with parents who were environmentalists before that word was part of the vocabulary, and who taught me to care for God's creation."

Over the years, Dr. Henry has generously supported CBF with annual gifts. When it came time to retire, she decided it was the right time to make a larger financial commitment by creating a Charitable Gift Annuity.

Dr. Henry found the financial benefits of an annuity appealing, but her passion for the Bay at such a critical time was the real motivation behind her support. "This is a watershed time for CBF and the Bay, with the Farm Bureau lawsuit, their recent appeal, and EPA's renewed commitment to clean water. We aren't going to get another moment like this one."
