Our Members
Courtney Clough, Founder & President
Courtney is the Founder and President of Project 11, a mom to 2 and a loss mom to 2 (Thomas and Adrian). Project 11 was created in memory of Courtney’s precious son Thomas who was born at 18 weeks gestation. From that moment on Courtney and her husband Andrew have been passionate about sharing how God has led them to turn their pain into purpose by helping others in similar situations by providing care packages in both their babies memory.
Kathy Tharpe, Treasurer
Kathy is Courtney’s step-mom and proud “Gram” to Thomas. She has experience as a treasurer and is great with numbers! She was already a fierce supporter of Project 11 and jumped at the chance to be involved in a more official capacity. She is proof that the love of a grandparent knows no bounds!
Amanda Arnold, Secretary
Amanda’s attention to detail and organizational skills make her such a blessing to have as Secretary. She met Courtney shortly after Thomas died and didn’t think twice about jumping in and offering support wherever and however it was needed. Amanda is a mom, step-mom and a passionate supporter.
Heather Conners, Board Member
With her exceptional talents and generous nature, Heather has supported Project 11 time and time again. She’s held multiple fundraisers, donating her time and photography skills that have no doubt kept Project 11 floating in its early stages. She is a mom to 5 and a loss mom to 3, and has made being part of our team a priority.
Nicole Gunter, Board Member
Before there was Project 11, there was Nicole! She listened to Courtney recount her experience in the hospital and dream of starting a non-profit. She went home and created the swaddle crochet pattern based off of what was discussed. She helped teach those interested in learning to crochet and always makes herself available to help in any way. Nichole is a mom to 3 and an absolute asset to have as a member!
Sara Seo, Advisory Board Member
Sara has helped with Project 11 since day one. She’s helped coordinate and host workshops, spent hours prepping care package items, and has been an overall huge supporter. She’s known Courtney since they were in high school and as a long time friend she can almost anticipate where she’s needed. Sara is a mom to 2 and a loss mom to 1.
Katie Blake, Advisory Board Member
Everyone needs a Katie Blake in their life; the kind of person who listens and genuinely cares. She’s been a huge emotional supporter and gentle advice giver. Her sweet nature brings a positive vibe to the discussions and we’re thrilled to have this mom of 2 as a member!
Katie Stilwell, Fundraising Coordinator
Before offering her services as an event planner/fundraising coordinator, Katie has shown up time and time again to support Project 11. She’s a long time friend of Courtney (since 1996), a mom to 1 and a loss mom to 1. Katie is already taking her new role to the highest level possible, ensuring we never have to turn away a care package request.
