Bowlin_Heather(Harrisburg, PA) November 7, 2024 – On November 6, 2024, Keystone Human Services (KHS) honored Heather M. Bowlin with the Edna Silberman Humanitarian Service Award at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Membership.

Given annually, the award honors outstanding citizens who have made significant contributions to individuals, the community, and KHS, and who have played a major role in making the KHS vision real in the lives of others.

She is a steadfast supporter of KHS’s fundraising activities and events. She plays an active role on the ChocolateBall Committee, which she chaired from 2005-2017 and continues to serve as a member, helping to organize and design KHS’s largest fundraising event.

“Heather is a champion within the community for Keystone Human Services and our mission,” said Charles S. Sweeder, President and CEO of KHS. “Her leadership, energy, and creativity have been invaluable in engaging other community members and organizations in our work to promote inclusion for people with disability.”

“It is an honor to present this award to Heather,” said Stephen Rader, KHS Board Chair. “She’s an example of how an individual can help to unite the community around a common cause.”
