Jennifer Hefner, member of the Board
Jen Hefner and Heidi Vance attended both high school and college together,
ever changing, learning, and growing, but always understanding one another. In
the fall of 1999, Heidi and Jen reconnected at Mass. General Hospital, where
Curtis was admitted for the installation of a feeding tube. Jen attended both
Curt and Heidi’s wedding, and Curt’s funeral, and after witnessing Curt’s
strength and courage, decided to climb on board The Curtis R. Vance Foundation,
Inc., and make a difference!
