Betty Goldfarb worked as a pre-school teacher for 27 years and enjoyed the challenge of adapting her teaching style to support children of all different abilities. Betty is also a lifelong dog lover, believing that all lives are significantly improved simply by spending a few minutes with a dog.
When Betty learned about service dogs for children with autism, she was instantly hooked. Recently, Betty chose to donate a portion of her Individual Retirement Account (IRA) distribution to BluePath. Individuals over 70 ยฝ are required to take minimum distributions each year, which are taxable at ordinary income rates. Any amount donated to a nonprofit organization is tax-free.
Betty directed her donation towards BluePathโs Walkathon fundraiser, at which her large, close-knit family will be recognized as Gold Sponsor. As Betty shares, โWe donโt have a ton to give but we do what we can โ and it just feels so good to know weโre making a difference in childrenโs lives.โ
