About the donor

Kiera and Lee Zink know what a difference skilled specialists and educators can make in the lives of children with unique needs. Their four-year-old daughter, Jordan, has deeply benefited from the highly skilled educators at the Anchor Center for Blind Children. That’s why, with support from their extended family, they established the Zink Family Scholarship Fund at The Denver Foundation. The fund provides financial support for the advanced study of special education.
