A Call to Support Our Beloved Team Member,
April Colburn, and Her Family
For years, April Colburn has been a major, creative force behind the Chautauqua Gazette’s stunning design. She has poured her talent, dedication, and late-night hours into crafting visuals that elevate each edition beyond expectation. She has helped support this publication and the advertisers who rely on her artistry, all while balancing the demands of her full-time day job and raising her four children.
Now, it’s our turn to support her.
April and her family recently suffered the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Mark, after a difficult hospitalization. As they navigate this unimaginable grief, the financial strain of medical bills, funeral expenses, and the challenges of moving forward have begun to weigh heavily.
April has given so much to her paper, our business and organizational partners, and the Chautauqua community. We want to rally together now to give back and cheer her on.
