Doug & Helen Hatridge
For Doug and Helen Hatridge, the motivation for creating their personal foundation was simple. "It is important to give back to the community." Their commitment to giving is deeply rooted in their passion for education, having both retired from the Fort Osage school system. But their delight in giving does not stop with education. Other charities such as Community Services League, where Doug served on the board, and Starlight Theatre, where Helen was involved since a little girl, have benefited from the Hatridge Foundation." We all need to give back in whatever way we can."
