Congratulations to Jennike Duignam for being named Hero of the Year by Connor’s Hero Foundation for her work with children being treated for cancer.

The Crenshaw Elementary art teacher has volunteered for more than a decade making art with pediatric cancer patients and their siblings during monthly sessions at the Visual Arts Center. Collaborative artworks created in those sessions are auctioned to raise thousands of dollars for Connor’s Hero Foundation during the annual Heroes Art Ball. At this year’s ball, Jennike Duignam will be celebrated as the foundation’s 2025 Hero of the Year.
