The 2025 Circle of Caring Award Dinner will posthumously honor Cindy (Bontrager) Hawkins in recognition of her lifelong service and unwavering commitment to her community.

For Cindy, having friends and family in her home was always a joy. She loved welcoming her children’s friends with delicious food, love, and laughter, creating a place where everyone felt at home. Even after the untimely diagnosis of her brain tumor, Cindy continued to care for others. She fought throughout her cancer journey to maintain her independence and never stopped doing what she loved, choosing always to prioritize what is life-giving.

Her dedication to supporting family and youth-focused programs reflects her generous spirit and aligns deeply with CHC’s mission to improve the quality of living. Cindy’s legacy of service, resilience, and compassion makes her a most deserving recipient of the 2025 Circle of Caring Award.

Please join us on November 5 as we celebrate Cindy’s life well lived.
