—Steve Kienle
Cathy Kienle plays an equally vital role in the company's legacy, leading all philanthropic initiatives with passion, purpose, and heart. Through her vision, Walter's Automotive Group has built a 30-year partnership with Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, anchored by their foundation, Walter's Children's Charity Classic. Cathy has served on the hospital's board for many years and has chaired its last two fundraising galas, helping raise vital support for pediatric care in the Inland Empire. In addition to her work with Loma Linda, Cathy has been a long-standing supporter of the American Heart Association, and for over 20 years, has played an active leadership role in the Parkview Hospital Foundation. She and Steve have also been dedicated supporters of the Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center - now known as NORA - for more than two decades, helping advocate for and support survivors throughout the region. Her steadfast commitment to improving the health and well-being of others continues to leave a lasting impact on the communities she serves.
Outside of their professional and philanthropic commitments, Steve and Cathy enjoy traveling and boating in the scenic Pacific Northwest, where they find time to unwind and reconnect with nature.
