In memory of Judy Putman

Judy Putman worked at Presbyterian Ear Institute as Director of Development from 1999-2001 and was responsible for the inaugural Run to Break the Silence in 1999. Judy was actively involved in volunteering her time for different nonprofit organizations for many years, and she realized the importance of giving deaf and hard of hearing children the opportunity to listen, learn and speak. Judy and Lee Dirks (Judy’s husband) have been generous donors to PEI, and in 1999 Judy established the Run to Break the Silence with Suzanne and Andrew Riley as a way to raise awareness and funds for the PEI cause. Judy remained an integral part of the run until 2009 when she was diagnosed with cancer. Judy passed away in November of 2012. The 2013 Run to Break the Silence is dedicated to her for her commitment and years of hard work to make the event the success it is.
