About the Foundation

Sally’s entire working career was spent in non-profit management, working with the Traverse City Arts Council, March of Dimes, the American Cancer Society, and the Leelanau County Chamber of Commerce. She also helped start the Leelanau Economic Foundation. Volunteer work was also central to Sally’s life.

Sally served as the first female President of Kiwanis, two-year president of the Parent-Teacher Organization at Trinity Lutheran Schools, and a member of the Board of Directors for Leelanau Christian Neighbors. She also worked with Grand Traverse Hospice and the Boys and Girls Club of Traverse City. Sally was known as an excellent listener with a tenacious spirit and a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-it-done attitude.

The Sally Guzowski Foundation aspires to continue Sally’s work by partnering with local Northern Michigan organizations in an effort to positively impact the many communities she was honored to serve.
