Today we honor the life of one of ACN’s biggest champions, Margie Sadler Benson aka “Mama Margie”. Margie graciously donated her time, background as an educator, and love to support our clients and their families day in and day out. Her commitment to our mission is just one of the many reasons why she was an integral part of our ACN Herd 🐘. We will carry Mama Margie’s memory into all we do to serve our community. 💜
