The Cindy Colbus Legacy Fund was created to honor the life and spirit of our extraordinary mother—a woman whose love, resilience, warmth, and unwavering strength shaped everyone lucky enough to know her. In the final months of her life, we watched her recover from unthinkable challenges with grace and grit, determined to reclaim the pieces of her independence, identity, and joy.

Because Cindy wasn’t defined by a single cause or institution—she was a mother, a cook, a caregiver, a friend, and a fighter—we are not rushing to assign this fund to one purpose. Instead, we are creating space to reflect on the many ways we can carry her legacy forward. Contributions to the fund will be carefully stewarded by our family and, when the time feels right, directed toward efforts and non-profit organizations that align with her spirit, values, and the impact she made in our lives and our community. Whether that’s supporting stroke or cardiac awareness, caregiver resources, educational programs, or even community spaces filled with music and food, we promise to honor her in the highest way possible.

We are so grateful for your continued support, and for helping us ensure that her light continues to shine far and wide.
