Susan and Mark Avery: Giving Back to the Community That Gave Them So Much
For Susan and Mark Avery, giving back is about showing up for the organizations they believe in and the community that has given them so much.
In this episode of At the Heart of Giving, Susan and Mark share how their deep roots in Decatur have shaped a shared commitment to philanthropy through both time and treasure.
From decades of volunteer and board service with organizations including Northeast Community Fund, Good Samaritan Inn, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Meals on Wheels and Beautify Decatur, to Susan’s involvement with our She Gave Women’s Giving Circle and Mark’s advocacy for Illinois Gives, their generosity reaches across our community.
“We want to give back as much as we can, because we have certainly been blessed,” Susan shares.
Hear more about the causes closest to their hearts, why they believe finding the right mission matters, and how they hope to pass a spirit of generosity on to the next generation.
