“I've long believed in committing to a cause bigger than yourself,” said Morton. “Little did I know this would be my cause that I was actually contributing to it all along and it's come to fruition with this.”
CET's mission statement is to strengthen the communities it serves through programs and services that inspire and perform, educate and engage, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning and the power of diverse perspectives.
Morton has lived a very colorful and eventful life. She was a practicing pharmacist for 42 years and worked in retail and hospital settings. She also served as a consultant for a long-term care facility. Morton also volunteered for hospice and at the Louisville Zoo where she cleaned giraffe and rhino enclosures.
Morton was nominated by CET because she has supported public television for nearly five decades beginning with KET and transferring to CET when she moved to Brookville. Morton will also be leaving her retirement account to CET.
“When you're donating, you never expect it to culminate into something like this,” said Morton.
Morton said this is a cause she has always been passionate about and will continue to support. She added that she is honored and humbled to have received this award.
Morton's support to CET will ensure that public media remains free and accessible to all.
“PBS educates all age groups, it opens your mind, your imagination and your spirit,” said Morton.
