OUR FOUNDERS

Larkspur Community Foundation was founded in 2013 by Helen Heitkamp, Sallyanne Wilson, Sandy Blauvelt, and Joan Lundstrom. These four wonderful women wanted to preserve and assist the small town they each loved by establishing the Foundation.

Helen Heitkamp

Helen Heitkamp was a founding board member of Larkspur Community Foundation and a great supporter of our small town.  A former writer and editor for Better Homes and Gardens, Mrs. Heitkamp dedicated her life largely to appreciate and preserve Larkspur history. She was the primary writer and editor of “Larkspur Past and Present,” a history of the city. We are grateful for her years of work to appreciate and preserve Larkspur history and of course, her part in founding the foundation. We miss her and remember her spirit and enthusiasm for preserving Larkspur’s heritage as we move forward.
