Funds raised at the Pie Festival support the Barbara Eckhoff and Ethel Gribbon fund at Beads of Courage. The fund provides food to nurture patients, families and clinicians at children’s hospitals nationwide during our arts-in-medicine workshops and training sessions.
Barb Eckhoff and Ethel Gribbon were the beloved sister and mother of Jean Gribbon, founder and executive director of Beads of Courage. They loved to bake and nurture people through delicious home-cooked food. The Memorial Fund will continue their legacy of caring for years to come.
Donate your home-baked pies to share!
