PictureSally Hershberger during the 2012 opening lap at 24 Hours of Booty. In her words, BEST DAY EVER!
Sally was slight in frame, but huge in kindness and humor. She had an unflappable delight in life, in her friends and family, in the arts and so much more...  After first attending a Wind River Retreat in 2011 Sally became involved with Wind River events many times including coming back to volunteer her time making scarves with other survivors.

We lost Sally to pancreatic cancer last December after 7 years of saying "no" to the disease (an amazing length of time for that particular type of cancer),  but Sally's passion for healing through art continues thanks to a generous donation to the Tryon Arts & Crafts Center (TAC)  made by her beautiful husband Ed Hershberger (Fire Chief at a local Fire Dept).  Ed saw a special connection between Sally's love of TAC and of Wind River so he set up a special "Sally" Fund to provide art opportunities for survivors at the TAC to be administered by Wind River.  We are thrilled and humbled to be a part of Ed's wonderful idea and Sally's continuing legacy of helping others...

Pictured above:  Our first "Sally" workshop with 6 survivors from Louisiana and North Carolina!  ... a wonderful scarf dying shop offered by artist Christine Mariotti.  I'm sure Sally was smiling down on us that day.

This was made possible by the in loving memory fund remembering Sally Hershberger. Sally was a long time friend and alum of Wind River.
