“A society grows great when old men plant trees in shade they know they will never sit.”
– Greek Proverb
Katie Combs worked at Discovery Counseling Center for the last six weeks of her life. In that short time, with intelligence, joy and sense of humor, she made a huge impact on all who knew her. Katie embraced Discovery Counseling Center’s mission of providing high quality, accessible and affordable mental wellness services to our community. Many of Katie’s family members and friends contributed generously to a memorial fund in her memory, and with this seed money established the Katie Combs Endowment Fund.
It is the intention of the Board of Directors to add to this endowment fund annually and to invest the income generated. With additional donations and careful management, Katie’s Fund will eventually generate sufficient income to continue Discovery’s mission of providing financial assistance to families in critical need of mental health services for the next 50 years.
For more information on how to contribute to Katie’s Fund, please contact us at 925.837.0505.
Thank you to all who contributed to Katie’s memorial fund that provided the initial critical funding to establish Katie’s legacy and to those who have donated to the Endowment Fund.
