This year, we are heartbroken to share that the SIMS community lost a truly beautiful soul, Karen Zeidan.

A true trailblazer, Karen was a dedicated SIMS volunteer and frequent staple at our community events. Karen gave her time, her kindness, her strength, and her spirit to all so generously, and everyone at SIMS and our broader community is better off from having known her.

Her love, impact, and inspiration will continue to be felt by the entire SIMS community. We thank everyone who has given to our mission in her honor. đź’™
