Mackinac Island cottager Kitty Hannabass, through a contribution to the Community Foundation, created a special fund in memory of her husband, Hayden, which will provide a never-ending source of funding for projects to preserve Mackinac Island's natural resources.

"Although I was fortunate enough to spend my growing-up summers coming to Mackinac, I did not really appreciate the natural beauty of the Island until I discovered it through the eyes of my husband, "said Kitty.

"I wanted to honor his memory and the things close to his heart and to the hearts of those who love Mackinac." – Kitty Hannabass
