Former U.S. second lady Karen Pence launches charity initiative
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A former second lady of the United States, Karen Pence on Tuesday said she sees no reason why she can’t keep supporting her fellow Hoosiers.
The wife of former Vice President and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence had a charitable foundation during her time as first lady of Indiana. The foundation featured a spring luncheon that raised over $600,000 for Indiana charities. She told News 8 on Tuesday that she is returning to that model to launch the Hummingbird Charitable Foundation .
