A lifelong passion for impact and advocacy.

Debbie and Glenn have a shared lifelong commitment to giving back: both have been actively involved in service projects since their youth. Their voluntarism evolved over the years, progressing from hands-on efforts—such as tutoring and mentoring—to board work and onto constructing the Hutchins Family Foundation.

Thematically, they are resolved to share the benefits of their lives’ good fortune with causes and institutions they believe in, particularly in both addressing genuine need and fostering excellence. Strategically, they have chosen to focus on a few causes meaningful to them, usually ones in which a family member is deeply engaged. They believe this approach affords them the most efficient, effective, and timely means to forge tangible benefits for the society in which we live.
