Vermont Business Magazine On 11-22 at 2:00 p.m., Jericho residents Gail and Tim McKenna continued their tradition of generosity by contributing $3,333 to Howard Center from their Catch 22 nonprofit. Catch 22 began managing football for the area and now continues fundraising to provide charitable support to organizations that are important to them. The McKennas have supported Howard Center for ten consecutive years, with their contribution amount and the date they give reflecting significant numbers in their lives. Their ongoing commitment strengthens Howard Center's ability to provide essential services in mental health, substance use, and developmental support for individuals and families.
“Gail and I take great pleasure in giving back to our community. We believe in Howard Center and are committed to ensuring people have access to mental health care,” says Tim McKenna.
“We are grateful for Gail and Tim ‘s ongoing support for Howard Center's mission,” said Denise Vignoe, Howard Center’s Director of Development and Communications. “Their efforts do more than just raise funds—they build awareness for the work we do. Their dedication to the community is inspiring, and we are fortunate to have them as partners.”
As the designated agency for Chittenden County and the largest community-based service provider in Vermont, Howard Center's 1,500 dedicated staff members work from more than 60 locations to ensure quality care and community support.
Catch 22 was established by the McKennas over twenty years ago. Since then, it has provided support to numerous community organizations, including Shriners Hospital and the Vermont Children's Hospital.
