Kathleen Daley Kany Endowment
Supports RUMC Worship Arts and the RUMC Help Fund.
At the heart of this mission is a simple belief: music and a helping hand can make a powerful difference in someone's life. Kathleen believed deeply in the healing power of music and its ability to offer comfort during life’s most difficult moments. In that same spirit, the RUMC Help Fund was created—a discretionary fund that empowers clergy to provide support and care to individuals in need of healing. Together, through compassion and the power of music, we continue her legacy of hope.
