🌟 Legacy Donor Spotlight: Week 2 🌟
Meet Russ & Leslie Knopp, passionate advocates for seniors and community champions who have been changing lives across Northern Michigan for two decades.
As owners of Comfort Keepers Northern Lower Michigan, Russ and Leslie have grown their Traverse City-based franchise since 2005 to a team of over 220 employees, providing compassionate in-home care to hundreds of seniors each year throughout the northwestern Michigan region.
But their impact doesn’t stop there. 🙌
Russ and Leslie are deeply committed to supporting both seniors and caregivers, actively serving with organizations like Bay Area Senior Advocates, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Impact 100, and the Alzheimer’s Association (where Russ has served as Michigan Chairperson for 6 years!)
💬 Why they became legacy donors of the Kristina Butler Foundation:
“We support the Kristina Butler Foundation because we believe in its mission and its founder, Kristina Butler. Kristina has created a pathway to continue her legacy of caring and support for seniors and the people who care for them. We believe in this mission and want to provide financial support to carry out the work.”
We’re beyond grateful for leaders like Russ and Leslie Knopp who are growing legacies of care, service, and heart. 💙
