Our newest member to the foundation board is SSGT Ben Hines’s sister, Gabriella Tuzzato. Ben and Gabriella shared a passion for music, political discussions, and living life to the fullest. Laughter, good-natured taunting, and politics were always forefront in their conversations.

Gabriella graduated from Penn State University with a degree in International Relations and has extensive non-profit experience working with The Pennsylvania Immigrant and Refugee Women’s Network, or PAIRWN, that is dedicated to the well-being of immigrant and refugee communities within the Harrisburg area. Professionally, she works in software Quality Assurance, and resides in York, PA along with her pup, Ringo, and her boyfriend, Brandon Harkins.

Gabriella brings passion and vision to the board as we continue Benjamin’s legacy of commitment and service to others. She will be actively engaged in all aspects of the foundation, including community outreach.
