What: Ben’s Bells promote kindness and community involvement. Each week a person who makes Tucson better is “belled.”
Last week’s recipients: Erin Dokter and Kristine Bentz.
Nominated by: Doug Crockett.
Why: Dokter and Bentz are co-coordinators of the Tucson Threshold Choir. The choir, which is part of an international network of a capella choirs, is invited to sing at the bedsides of seriously and terminally ill patients to provide them comfort in their last days. “Erin and Kristine exemplify a unique ability to make kindness audible,” Crockett wrote in his nomination letter. Both have full-time jobs, but devote significant volunteer time to the choir. “Their deep friendship allows them to share a very difficult job and also model kindness to over 20 members and the many hospice families that we serve,” Crockett wrote.
