Kimberly Latshaw-Ortiz was a tremendous supporter and advocate of helping kids and the community! Her efforts through teaching and coaching impacted countless lives and she wanted to continue making that impact. Her legacy lives on through her kids, her family, friends, and the volleyball community, as well as through Dig Like Kim!
