Salute to Beth Franklin, Founder Hand-In-Paw
Thirteen years ago, Beth Franklin founded Hand-In-Paw because of her passion for animal-assisted therapy and her belief in an animal's ability to help people heal. During this time, Hand-In-Paw has become a financially stable, vibrant organization, staffed with talented people and blessed with a dedicated group of volunteers - all who are committed to work in our community each and every day.
Beth will soon begin a new career as the Senior Development Director for the UAB School of Nursing, once again combining her special talents with a place in her heart; this time for Nurses. As she says, "I'll always be grateful for the comfort and gentle care provided by these angels in white, and I welcome an opportunity to raise funds to address the nursing shortage our country faces."
Beth requests our same loving support of Hand-In-Paw throughout a transition that will be made smooth by the leadership in place. "I cherish the unwavering belief you have in Hand-In-Paw's mission and trust that you will join me in continuing this life-changing work."
From MagicCityMoments: Beth, we wish you the very best in your new endeavor, and we know the UAB School of Nursing will grow and benefit from your heart in hand.
Much love and thanks for all of your contributions to the "Magic" of Birmingham!
