When asked to describe her mother, the words come easily for Matina Zenios. Compassionate. Caring. Loving. Big-hearted. Kind. Sue Bouzounis was all these things and more. The Artina “Choose Kind” Fund was established in March 2019 as a way for the company to facilitate its philanthropy and honor Sue. Through the fund, the family plans to support organizations with a mission to help families and children facing situations of need.
