The Wheeler Fund for Professional Growth

Established by Gary and Susan Wheeler, The Wheeler Fund for Professional Growth is meant to support Highlights Foundation staff in doing their jobs better and more joyfully. Specifically, the fund supports professional development, personal enrichment programs, and tools for staff.   

For Susan, one of the most memorable parts of attending Highlights Foundation programs over the years has been the food and hospitality team. Ultimately, the funds will be used to invest in the people who make the Highlights Foundation so special.
