Our Vision

Through donations, scholarships and training, the Turnbow Foundation hopes to enable disadvantaged children and their families the opportunity, through education, to reach goals they might otherwise not achieve due to financial limitations.

History of the Foundation

Judith ReinartzThe Turnbow Foundation was founded in 2003 by Judith (Turnbow) Reinartz with the dream to better the lives of children. Throughout Judy’s life she volunteered her support to local community issues, especially ones that involved children and single mothers.

Judy retired in 2002 from the Bank of Santa Clara and wanted to keep giving to her community and dedicated herself to charitable work. She decided to establish the Turnbow Foundation, which would allow her to continue helping others. Sadly, Judy passed away from cancer in 2003. Her son, Thomas Bambury, and his wife, Tina Bambury, inherited the responsibility of continuing Judy's vision of assisting those less fortunate.

The Turnbow Foundation wishes to continue Judy's vision, and hopes that the foundation will touch as many lives as Judy did during her lifetime.
