Committee Chair

My name is Stella Cutler, and I’m from Potomac, Maryland. I currently attend a Jewish high school. When I'm not overwhelmed with schoolwork, I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. My true passion is raising awareness for atypical Parkinson's disorders. My Saba (grandfather) passed away almost five years ago, and I have dedicated myself to keeping his memory alive. I have been with the Coleen Cunningham Foundation for a year, serving as the Support and Advocacy Committee Chair. In this role, I manage all grants, volunteer events, and related activities, and I absolutely love it! I am also training to become the Executive Director, which means I'm fortunate enough to learn the ropes and hope to one day run the foundation. If you are based in the USA and want to get involved, please reach out!
