Kathy has volunteered with 4-H for eight years. She has been co-leader of EquiRiders Horse Club and is currently co-leader of the Silver Spurs Horse Club, which was awarded Outstanding 4-H Club (with 8-12 members) for 2009. She is also a member of the Lancaster County Horse VIPS Committee.

Laura Hardesty nominated Kathy for the award, saying, "She is a wonderful 4-H leader. She helps the 4-H'ers succeed with her ever-ready smile and willingness to help. Kathy has been an organizational leader for many years and is an outstanding role model."

Kathy says, "I enjoy working with the youth and watching them develop their riding skills as well as learning about horses. I have made many friends through 4-H and appreciate the commitment and support of club members. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is hosting the annual "Hairy Horse Show." Proceeds from this show are donated to a local horse rescue. It is a great feeling to give back to the community."
