Special thanks to our retiring Board Member, Ruth Gore. The Chapin Foundation was blessed to have Ruth as a vibrant, engaged and insightful Board Member from 1978–2020. Her leadership and steadfast commitment to the Myrtle Beach community guided the Foundation through many storms and celebrations. Always a “doer,” Ruth will undoubtedly continue her service to Myrtle Beach through her church, her wide circle of friends and her beloved family. Thank you, Ruth!
