LEGACY
Noel and Ora Perkin, Circa 1950
As my grandparents, Noel and Ora Perkin had a profound impact on me. They lived their lives committed to something greater than themselves. In their honor, Perkin Foundation represents a generational commitment, prompted by our pursuit of Christ, to engage in something greater than ourselves. It is our desire to build on the legacy of previous generations and encourage future generations to give their best to help others. We believe it is a life well lived.
