December 20 marks an important date in our community as we come together to celebrate the life and legacy of Lavern Gaynor through acts of service and kindness. Lal, as she was known to her close friends, left an indelible mark on children and families during her lifetime. Acknowledged for her generous philanthropy, Mrs. Gaynor was even more loved for her generosity of spirit. Education was at the top of the list of her personal causes, and she never backed down from a challenge. This December 20, her birthday, we invite everyone to #LeadLikeMrsGaynor by committing to any act of kindness, however small, because they add up to big meaning.
