Finley Broaddus was an environmentalist who passed away at age 18. She had a lifelong passion for nature and animals. During her battle with cancer, Finley created the "Green Leap Forward" fund to support environmental causes. The fund far exceeded its $18,000 goal, raising over $105,000. With the money, Finley made her first grants to organizations doing reforestation and environmental work in Kenya and West Virginia. The memorial service was held at Airlie, a location important to the environmental movement, and fittingly in their butterfly garden which Finley loved.
