The Sabatini Fund was established in 2024 by Tim Kelley and Ashley Kidder.  Named as a tribute to Ashley’s late grandfather, Paul, the fund follows his core tenets of generosity, educational success, and community involvement.  A lifelong learner, Paul encouraged Ashley to pursue her interests knowing that she would have his full support — something this fund wishes to emulate.

  • Ashley Kidder

    Co-Founder, Chairperson, and Secretary

    As a former high school French teacher, Ashley didn’t just teach language — she inspired connection, curiosity, and confidence in her students. Her passion for building community and empowering youth has defined her career, whether in the classroom or as a small business owner.

    Throughout her teaching career, Ashley sponsored an array of student activities, including Student Council, Dance Club, Freshman Transition Club, After Prom, Powder Puff Football, and Volleyball. Her leadership extended to serving as a union representative, teaching AP French, leading international student trips, and serving as department chair, all the while shaping a supportive and enriching classroom environment.

    Now a self-employed photographer, Ashley continues to bring her creativity and connection-building skills to her work, capturing meaningful moments that tell powerful stories. Outside of her professional endeavors, she remains invested in her community, championing public transit as a vital link that strengthens community connections.

    Ashley was born in Palo Alto, California, and moved to Colorado in 1995. She received a bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University in 2008 and a master of business administration from Georgia Southwestern State University in 2024.
