Donor Spotlight: Terra Fuller-Kulpins

Terra is the Team IMPACT Chicago board chair and is continuously a champion for the Midwest team. Terra finds motivation through Team IMPACT’s work with the University of Michigan, and is proud to celebrate two of her passions. Terra had the following to say about her Team IMPACT 5k experience:

“The Team IMPACT 5K Run/Walk gave our community an opportunity to come together and support the kiddos in our community that are matched with Team IMPACT. It also provided an opportunity to raise awareness for Team IMPACT’s mission. We chose to do a mile walk to our local coffee shop, Blackberry Market, who generously sponsored our event. This format allowed more individuals to participate, and deepened the sense of community by making the finish line at a community favorite, Blackberry Market. All in, it was a wonderful day of fun and camaraderie!”
