A huge congratulations to our very own Lorie Fuller on being inducted into the Alabama A&M University Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2026! ❤️

Long before leading Helping Hand's financial operations, Lorie was making history in the pool. Her remarkable swimming career at Alabama A&M included record-breaking performances, All-American honors, MVP awards, and three consecutive NCAA National Swim Meet qualifications.

Her induction into the Hall of Fame is a testament to years of hard work, perseverance, and excellence, both in and out of the water. 🏊‍♀️

We're proud to celebrate this incredible achievement and grateful to have such an inspiring leader as part of the Helping Hand family. Congratulations, Lorie! 💛
