💜 Board Member Spotlight: Meet Dawn Allen!
Working behind the scenes of the foundation, you'll find Dawn Allen, our Creative Visionary and the story teller behind our social media presence!
🌟 Tell us a little about yourself:
By day, I serve as the Southeast Regional Director of Sales for a gaming company. I'm also a proud mom of two boys, a lover of travel, events, and the beach! I enjoy bringing people together, creating meaningful experiences, and finding creative ways to make an impact.
💜 Why did you join LBHF?
I joined because I wanted to help grow the mission. I saw something truly special in the Lorraine Bethea Hospice Foundation and an opportunity to take something great and help elevate it even further. Through marketing, storytelling, and social media, I want to help more people discover our mission and the difference we're making in the lives of hospice patients and their families.
✨ What do intentional acts of kindness mean to you?
To me, it means giving of yourself without expecting anything in return. It's about being selfless, showing up for others, and offering love, compassion, and support when people need it most. Sometimes, the smallest gesture can create the biggest smile and a memory that lasts forever.
💜 Why should others support LBHF and/or attend the gala?
It's an incredible cause, we need your help spreading the word! Every new supporter helps us reach more hospice patients and families who deserve moments of joy. Whether you attend our gala, donate, volunteer, or share our mission with others, you can help us create meaningful memories and bring a little happiness when it's needed most. Together, we can make more moments that matter!
