Current Board of Directors
CAROL BENTHAL-BINGLEY
President & Founder“I am in awe at how our community has supported Annie’s Locker. We have an outstanding, dedicated Board of Directors and superb volunteers. We all share a passion that has kept our vision moving forward. So many people have stepped forward and helped out in their own way, and for that I am so grateful.”
TERRI ODELL
Vice President
“Annie’s Locker is unusual and we really keep our mission clear. Although there are other areas in Rockford that collect used clothing, ours is strictly for fitness. We are the only organization that asks for donations and personally deliver to the individuals that request a need. We hope that with the personal touch we can always be there for them in the future.”
SHANNON RING
Treasurer
“The
importance of an organization like Annie’s Locker in the Rockford area
is the encouragement we offer to people to help them exercise and become
healthier. This is boosting self-esteem and motivating people who
might not have thought they were able.”
CINDY GARNER
Secretary
“Annie’s Locker allows us as individuals and as a community to reach out to those in need. That need can be a prayer, encouraging words, race sponsorship, clothes or just being there with them on their journey.”
JEFF WILMARTH
Board Member
“One of the most valuable aspects of Annie’s locker is the vision that the organization has to help people realize their full potential through physical fitness. Being fit carries so many benefits to the rest of our well-being. Annie’s Locker plays a vital role in the Rockford Community as a resource for organizations and individuals young and old to challenge and change themselves to live better tomorrow.”
TONYA THAYER
Past Board Member
“More than anything else, I think Annie’s Locker offers a support system for those looking to become more physically fit. Trying to prepare and learn about a new, more fit, lifestyle can be very intimidating. Annie’s Locker volunteers are very encouraging.”
