Supporters of Centre Foundation for many years, the Palmers were generous philanthropists together before Jim's death in 2001, and Barbara continues that generous legacy now. A founding member of the Hemlock Council (Central Pennsylvania) of the Girl Scouts, she was also a founding supporter of the Park Forest Day Nursery for low-income children. She is a generous supporter of Penn State as well as many local charities. This fund, and others which support the operation of Centre Foundation, provides stewardship for the future of Centre County. It allows Centre Foundation to provide greater funding and services to local charitable organizations, as well as enhance our services to the donor community.
