Light A Fire 2026: Inspiring Change

Among this year’s honorees of Moffly Media’s annual Light a Fire awards is a modern-day lighthouse keeper. “Lighthouses have this almost universal ability to inspire people,” says Alex Pettee, the man keeping the light shining bright at Greens Ledge Lighthouse. “Lighthouses have always represented safety, guidance and perseverance,” says his father, Timothy.

The same can be said of our Light a Fire winners. They are beacons of hope for the community and lifesavers for those among us struggling rough waters in life or feeling lost at sea. One is an 11-year-old whose heart broke for a young male figure skater being bullied because of his passion; she had to take a stand. Several are immigrants who never forgot the kindness showered on them in their new country, and so they have devoted themselves to giving back to others in need. One turned losing her mom at 19 into a mission that has furthered female cancer diagnosis and provided financial relief to women with breast cancer. One left finance in her early thirties so she could change lives instead. Others are helping seniors, teaching teens, feeding the hungry and teaching men that asking for help with their mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Their beams of light are criss-crossing our communities and beyond like steady, reassuring signals from a lighthouse. They are awesome. And they have a message for their neighbors, which honoree Kendall Webb sums up perfectly: “It’s easy to think, What difference can I possibly make? But one of the things I’ve learned through this work is that you don’t have to solve the whole problem to change the direction of someone’s life.

A relatively small amount of help at the right moment can make an enormous difference.”

DR. INNA LAZAR

ORGANIZATION: Eyecare From The Heart

INSPIRATION
Inna Lazar came to the U.S. from Ukraine as a child. “My family had to build a new life from the beginning. That experience has stayed with me. I know how much it means to have opportunities, support and people who care as you find your way,” she says.

Dr. Lazar went on to attend medical school and build a successful practice. As her practice grew, she wanted to find a way to lend support to those in need.

“Becoming a mother made that desire even more personal,” says Dr. Lazar. “I think about how much we all want our children to feel supported and have every chance to thrive. Being able to ease even one worry for another parent feels like a meaningful way to give back.”

COURAGE INTO ACTION
Dr. Lazar founded Eyecare from the Heart to provide comprehensive eye exams, glasses and myopia management for children who might otherwise go without this essential care.

“It began with a simple belief: Every child deserves to see clearly, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances,” says Dr. Lazar. “A child may not know that the way they see the world could be different. They may simply think reading is difficult or that the board at school is supposed to look blurry. Having the opportunity to help change that to make their day a little easier, and their world a little clearer, is something I never take for granted.”

To date, 28 children, primarily from Greenwich, have benefitted from Eyecare from the Heart. “Especially meaningful to me is that 11 of those children have received myopia management treatment to help slow the progression of their nearsightedness and protect their vision for the future,” says Dr. Lazar.

HOPES & DREAMS
“My hope is that we can reach more children and make it easier for families to ask for and receive the care they need,” says Dr. Lazar. “I would love to strengthen our relationships with schools and community organizations so that parents know we are here. As a mother, it is difficult to imagine knowing your child needs care and worrying about how you will afford it. If we can help lift that burden, that means so much to me. My dream is to keep building on that work with care and compassion, helping more children see clearly today while caring for their vision for the years ahead.”

Words of Praise

“Dr. Inna Lazar is that rare combination of heart, head and hands. She is a true triple threat: an expert in her craft, an elite communicator with a spirit of generosity infused throughout her practice. Eyecare From the Heart is also quite unique, as there are not many nonprofits that cover advanced eyecare in and for a community setting. Eyecare From the Heart, supercharged by a Pitch Your Peers $25,000 grant last year, is already hard at work in our hometown, improving eyes—and lives—right here in Greenwich.”

{ MOST DETERMINED PEACEMAKER }

AUDREY LAM-DANBACK

ORGANIZATION: Skate Against Hate

INSPIRATION
Eleven-year-old Audrey Lam-Danback has been skating competitively for three years. “I fell in love with skating when I was six years old and stepped onto the ice for the first time at the Greenwich Skating Club,” she says. “The ice is a place where I can express myself, feel the music and just be me.” It’s a feeling she believes everyone deserves.

When Audrey learned that a friend was being bullied on the ice, she knew she had to do something. “He’s an amazing male figure skater. He was being bullied simply because he was a boy who loved figure skating, and that really bothered me,” says Audrey. “Then I went to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan with my family, and that made an even bigger impression on me. I saw athletes from so many different countries and backgrounds all coming together because they loved their sport. It made me think about what I could do in my own skating community.”

COURAGE INTO ACTION
“I came up with the idea of putting on an ice show to raise money and awareness,” explains Audrey. “I started reaching out to skaters and organizations in the skating community. We needed a rink, skaters to perform, a website and a way to get everyone to come! I was amazed by how many people wanted to help.”

The Skate Against Hate ice show last April raised more than $20,000 for anti-hate and anti-bullying efforts, with proceeds donated to the American Ice Theatre, which uses skating to promote artistic expression, inclusion and community engagement. “We had 25 skaters volunteer to perform, including some incredible professional skaters, and more than 100 people came to support us,” says Audrey. Since the exhibition, Skate Against Hate has raised another $15,000—giving Audrey an even bigger platform to show that there’s no place for bullying in skating.

HOPES & DREAMS
Audrey is already planning the 2027 event and has big dreams for both the cause and herself. She hopes to see Skate Against Hate expand to other states, countries and even sports. She also hopes “to create a scholarship foundation for kids who love figure skating but might not have the money to pursue it.”

For herself, she says, “the Olympics would be my ultimate dream, but I also never want to get so focused on results that I forget how much I just love being on the ice.”

Words of Praise

“Watching Audrey stand in front of a large crowd and speak so confidently and sincerely about the importance of acceptance, kindness and making sure everyone feels like they belong was so moving. Seeing an 11-year-old not only recognize a problem, but have the courage to use her voice and bring a community together around it, was incredibly powerful.”

{ OUTSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATES }

TOM TAMBERRINO & EVAN DUNNE

ORGANIZATION: Wave Strong Foundation

INSPIRATION
“A month before my fourth birthday, my dad died by suicide,” says Darien resident Evan Dunne. When several Darien teenagers died by suicide in 2022, Dunne saw it as a wake-up call. As a Wave Strong board member, he is passionate about breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and helping teens and men understand that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. “We have a chance to change young people’s lives and trajectories,” he says.

For fellow Wave Strong board member Tom Tamberrino, the organization’s mission is deeply personal. After struggling with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder and anxiety, Tom attempted suicide in June 2024. Following treatment at Silver Hill Hospital and Sheppard Pratt in Baltimore, he made a full recovery.

“Wave Strong’s mission is very personal to me,” he says. Changing the stigma starts with changing the language. “People die from cancer and they die from suicide; they don’t ‘commit’ suicide,” he emphasizes. “Having been to that breaking point, it’s not a personal decision; it’s the disease’s decision.”

COURAGE INTO ACTION
Tamberrino and Dunne have been instrumental in creating men’s events that bring Wave Strong’s message to life. “We have had speakers from sports stars to everyday people like us,” says Dunne. “The event that sticks out most to me is the Boys Will Be Men talk with Vince Benevento. We had a room full of men, from teens to men with teen sons. There was a group of young men in the front row, completely locked into the conversation, opening up and allowing themselves to be vulnerable. This is what it’s all about.”

Tamberrino adds, “Community is the medicine.” He recalls a men’s event the duo organized at Ox Ridge Hunt Club and the flood of messages afterwards from men who had thought they were alone in their struggles. “You don’t need to go to a golf club, drink beers and talk about the Knicks or Yankees. You can grab a cup of coffee with another man and talk about your feelings. You can talk about feeling vulnerable or pressured.”

Wave Strong is also bringing these conversations to younger generations. High school students in the Wave Strong Club provide peer-to-peer programming for middle schoolers at the Depot in Darien. Tamberrino is grateful that his own children are learning these lessons early. He points to a talk Dunne organized for the Darien High School football team featuring Ryan Leaf, a former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate who has spoken openly about addiction, incarceration and recovery. Today, Leaf is a football broadcaster and lives in Connecticut with his wife and children.

For Tamberrino, Leaf’s story is another reminder that vulnerability, connection and asking for help can change the course of a life.

HOPES & DREAMS
“I want our community to have a greater sense of courage to help those who don’t ask for help and empower people to know they can ask,” says Evan. Tom adds, “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. That’s the message I hope everyone understands. Whatever it is you’re going through—your girlfriend broke up with you, you were catfished and are being blackmailed, you’re bankrupt—all of that is temporary. I hope we can demonstrate that raising your hand—asking for help—is the new strength.”

Words of Praise

“The mental health tides have turned in Darien in a very positive way,” says Laura Bremer, Co-Founder of the Wave Strong Foundation. “We are openly talking, sharing and supporting our residents with the determination to reach those who need us most. Tom and Evan have made a massive impact in such a short time.”

{ OUTSTANDING PHILANTHROPIST }

KENDALL WEBB

ORGANIZATIONS: Charity Bridge Fund, TisBest, ClassACT, Americares, Weston EMS, Nurturing Minds, SEGA, SquashBridge, Fresh Air Fund

INSPIRATION
“I grew up in a privileged town in Connecticut, but my life has taken me into communities very different from the one I knew growing up—from prisons and lower-income neighborhoods to communities facing extreme poverty in India, South Africa and Tanzania,” explains Kendall Webb. “I met people working multiple jobs and doing everything they could for their families while living with very little margin for error; one missed paycheck, illness or unexpected expense could have real consequences,” she says. “In the midst of all of that, there was family, humor, generosity and enormous strength. I often came away thinking less about what people lacked and more about how much community they had—and how much they still found to give.”

COURAGE INTO ACTION
At 22, Webb landed a “dream” job at Goldman Sachs, but stepped away from finance at 34 so she could find her version of success: making a difference in people’s lives.

“In 1998, I founded JustGive, one of the first online giving platforms, which went on to help raise more than $600 million for charity,” explains Webb. She also created Charity Gift Cards and serves on the board of TisBest. More recently, she founded Charity Bridge Fund to highlight nonprofit programs threatened by federal funding and policy changes—and connect donors to where help is most needed. She also launched ClassACT—Achieving Change Together—at Harvard, connecting alumni to work together for social good.

Webb is a volunteer nurse at an Americares free clinic in Bridgeport and an EMT in her hometown of Weston. As an EMT, she says, “You meet people at some of the hardest moments of their lives, and quickly learn not to define someone by the moment you happen to meet them in. Someone struggling with addiction, for example, isn’t ‘an addict.’ They’re a person with a story you don’t know.”

In 2008, Webb joined Nurturing Minds to help launch SEGA, a girl’s boarding school in Tanzania. She served on the board for more than 15 years, including as Chair. She also serves on the founding board of SquashBridge, an afterschool program in Bridgeport and has mentored a Norwalk student and welcomed a Fresh Air Fund child into her home.

HOPES & DREAMS
“I hope we continue to strengthen the nonprofit sector in this country—and that people understand just how important it is. If we lose the programs that help people stay healthy, employed, housed, fed and supported, relatively manageable problems can become much larger crises,” says Webb.

“It’s easy to think, What difference can I possibly make? But one of the things I’ve learned through this work is that you don’t have to solve the whole problem to change the direction of someone’s life. A relatively small amount of help at the right moment can make an enormous difference.”

Words of Praise

“In my many years working in business and volunteering in the nonprofit sector, I don’t think I’ve met anyone who has done more for the welfare of children, women in Third World countries or to enhance the lives of others around the world and on our own doorstep, than Kendall Webb.”

{ MOST COMMITTED TO UNDERSERVED YOUTH }

LEIGH KENNEDY

ORGANIZATION: Horizons at New Canaan Country Day School

INSPIRATION
“What inspires me most is seeing the mission of Horizons in action,” says Leigh Kennedy. She loves seeing students’ energy and excitement on campus each summer and volunteering alongside a staff that is “always thinking about new enrichment and ways to increase learning, while the kids are just being kids and having fun.”

Each June Leigh tries to attend the graduation ceremony, which deepens her passion for the program. “Some of the students have been part of the program since they were in kindergarten,” she says. “At the ceremony, they each share a special memory and a person who has had an impact. It really brings home just how meaningful all the traditions and relationships are to the students.”

COURAGE INTO ACTION
Horizons at New Canaan Country Day School (NCCS) addresses significant academic and economic opportunity gaps for over 350 underresourced K–12 students from Norwalk and Stamford each year through tuition-free summer programming, one-to-one tutoring, Saturday events and college and career prep.

For Kennedy and her family, Horizons is a deep-rooted commitment. Long before she joined the board in 2020, Kennedy and her husband, Phil, were steadfast supporters. Their children followed suit, working as a teaching assistant and volunteer. Each summer, the Kennedys also open their backyard pool to Horizons students and families for recreational swimming and lessons for children and their caregivers.

Leigh served as Horizons Vice Chair and then became Board Chair in 2024. “With each year, I’ve continued to learn more about the dedication and commitment that the leaders and partners—from the donors to our host school, New Canaan Country School—bring to Horizons year after year,” she says. “As Board Chair, my primary goal was to build on that tradition. We have a large board filled with smart, committed family and faculty representatives, and a goal for me was to make sure that everyone felt heard and had opportunities to contribute.”

HOPES & DREAMS
“My hope is that the magic of the Horizons community continues for many years to come,” says Leigh. “We have teachers and staff members who have been part of the program for 10, some over 20, years, and it is clear how much they care about Horizons and, more importantly, about the kids. I want every student to feel that same love and sense of belonging, and to know they are fully supported in achieving whatever they set their minds to.”

Words of Praise

“Leigh Kennedy is the embodiment of the Moffly Media Light a Fire Award. As the Board Chair (2024-2026) of Horizons at New Canaan Country School, Leigh combines visionary leadership with hands-on, heartfelt service. Leigh shows up to every event with a smile, ready to work and advocate for the Horizons at NCCS students and their families. It is impossible to imagine where Horizons at NCCS would be without her selflessness, strategic focus and the countless volunteer hours she pours into our mission.”

{ BEST FRIEND TO SENIORS }

PETER EDER

ORGANIZATIONS: AARP, St. John Church, Darien Library, VITA

INSPIRATION
The seeds of inspiration for Peter Eder’s fruitful life were planted at 219 Audubon Avenue, a six-story apartment building a few blocks from the George Washington Bridge. He and his family landed in Washington Heights during World War II, joining Orthodox Jewish refugees, young Cuban and Puerto Rican families seeking work and first-generation Irish and Italian families.

“These neighbors welcomed my immigrant Viennese father, his Bavarian farm wife and my older brother and me to a true melting pot.” Eder recalls. “From the very beginning, they helped us not just in learning the language, responsibilities and customs, but in gaining an awareness and appreciation of the joy and benefits of an intergenerational and multicultural society.”

COURAGE INTO ACTION
Through his extensive work with AARP, Peter has made a meaningful impact on issues affecting seniors across Connecticut and the country. His dedication and service were recognized with the prestigious AARP Andrus Award for Community Service.

“My AARP volunteering has ranged from signing folks into events, acting as a moderator for panel discussions and doing media interviews to organizing and lobbying legislators on important issues,” says Eder. In 2021, he helped Connecticut become the 15th state to guarantee virtual visitation and monitoring in care facilities—a need especially critical during the pandemic.

For the past 10 tax seasons, Eder has volunteered with the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA), providing free tax preparation to those who need it. “This includes managing appointments and ensuring proper document preparation,” explains Eder. With AARP training and 22 days of volunteer work this year alone, Eder helped prepare more than 650 filers.

Eder’s commitment to his community extends well beyond AARP. He volunteers at St. John Church and serves on the Darien Commission on Aging. As a founding board member of At Home in Darien, he helps seniors remain in their homes and connected to their community with dignity and independence. He also helps organize Met Opera rebroadcasts at Darien Library, creating meaningful and enriching cultural experiences, particularly for older adults.

HOPES & DREAM
Eder hopes people will recognize the value of intergenerational communities, “from the smallest, basic gathering of family and neighbors to the wider communities we all reside in,” and rediscover “the benefits and the beauty of ‘the common good.’” He also encourages people to embrace “the unselfish support of others” and recognize the value caregiving brings to both those receiving care and those providing it.

Words of Praise

“Peter has long been a passionate advocate for seniors, championing legislation, programs and community initiatives that support older adults and help them remain active, connected and independent. What makes Peter especially deserving of the Light a Fire Award is not simply the breadth of his volunteer work, but the consistency, humility and humanity with which he carries it out. He is tireless in his commitment to seniors, approaching every effort with kindness, patience and genuine care. Peter has enriched the lives of countless people in Darien and beyond.”

{ MOST DEDICATED PRESERVATIONIST }

ALEX PETTEE

ORGANIZATION: Greens Ledge Light Preservation Society

INSPIRATION
When Greens Ledge Lighthouse went up for auction in 2016, a group of local residents—including Tim and Alex Pettee—placed the winning bid. What began as an unlikely purchase soon became a mission: The group formed the Greens Ledge Light Preservation Society and set out to restore the historic beacon. Today, Alex Pettee is a modern-day lightkeeper, helping ensure that Greens Ledge continues to shine over Long Island Sound.

“Finance is my day job at Hoya Capital, but I’ve always had an engineer’s and entrepreneur’s mindset,” says Alex. “Greens Ledge has been a perfect outlet for that. Every challenge is a little different, from historic restoration and marine construction to transportation, environmental monitoring and figuring out how to build a sustainable nonprofit model around a lighthouse in the middle of Long Island Sound.”
That sense of purpose extends beyond the work itself. “Lighthouses also have this almost universal ability to inspire people,” says Alex.

COURAGE INTO ACTION
The group acquired the lighthouse a few years after it had been pummeled by Hurricanes Sandy and Irene. “The immediate goal was simply to save the lighthouse,” says Alex. “Since then, we’ve completed a major restoration, built the Greens Ledge Light Preservation Society into an all-volunteer nonprofit and transformed the lighthouse from a deteriorating offshore landmark into an active community resource.”

Public access and educational programming have been expanded and partnerships with local schools and environmental organizations have “turned the lighthouse into a real-world science platform for monitoring Long Island Sound,” says Alex. “This year, we also launched our new passenger vessel, the Lightkeeper Charlie Erdmann, to bring students, researchers, volunteers and members of the community out to the lighthouse.”

HOPES & DREAMS
“My dream is for Greens Ledge to become one of the great examples of what historic preservation can look like in the 21st century,” says Alex. “Preservation is much more meaningful and sustainable when a place continues to have an active purpose. I’d love to see thousands of students experience the Lighthouse as an outdoor classroom, researchers use it to better understand Long Island Sound, and more people from our community have the opportunity to step inside a landmark they’ve seen their entire lives.”
He adds, “Ultimately, I hope Greens Ledge continues to bring people together and connect our history with education, science and community.”

Words of Praise


“Alex embodies the spirit of a lighthouse keeper—quietly, consistently and selflessly ensuring that Greens Ledge Lighthouse continues to serve as a beacon for the community. He has devoted countless volunteer hours to preserving one of Connecticut’s most iconic maritime landmarks, often working behind the scenes without seeking recognition. Alex has played a significant role in protecting an important piece of New England maritime history so future generations can appreciate and learn from it.”

{ LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD }

ROBERTA “BOBBY” ANDERSON

ORGANIZATION: Catholic Charities Stamford: Home of New Covenant Center

INSPIRATION
“Every person deserves to be seen, welcomed and treated with dignity,” says Bobby Anderson. “I believe in a God who calls us to care for one another, especially the least among us. For me, food is a language of love. A warm meal can nourish the body, but the welcome that comes with it can nourish the spirit.”

At Catholic Charities Stamford: Home of New Covenant Center, Bobby sees that philosophy come to life every day. She has witnessed how “small acts of kindness become something much larger when we do them together. I often think of the child on the beach who throws one starfish at a time back into the ocean. We may not be able to solve every problem, but we can make a difference for the person standing in front of us,” she says.

COURAGE INTO ACTION
Anderson began volunteering at Catholic Charities 30 years ago. For the past three years, she has helped develop the New Covenant Center’s breakfast program, which has grown from serving about 30 guests each morning to about 120 guests. “Together with the ‘breakfast bunch’—an incredible group of volunteers—we prepare meals, creatively use Food Rescue donations and make sure that every morning begins with both nourishment and a welcoming presence,” she explains.

For Anderson, the mission is not to simply serve food; it’s about building relationships. “One morning, when I told a man he was our last guest, he replied, ‘I am not a guest; I am family.’ That moment captured what we are trying to create,” she says.

HOPES & DREAMS
“My hope is that Catholic Charities Stamford continues to be a place where people experiencing hardship are not defined by their circumstances, but are recognized for their humanity and welcomed with compassion, dignity and a smile,” says Bobby. “As we settle into a new state-of-the-art space, I know we will continue building a stronger, more connected community—one where everyone feels seen, known and cared for. Together—with compassion, dignity, generosity and a smile—we can make a difference. Let us keep volunteering—one meal, one conversation and one act of kindness at a time. Let us be the people who see the person in front of us, reach out a hand and refuse to believe that any life is beyond hope. Together, we can do more than serve a community; we can become the community we hope to see: one family, caring for one another, until everyone has a place at the table.”

Words of Praise

“Bobby Anderson has been a dedicated volunteer for over 30 years.
Bobby leads breakfast every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, preparing and serving robust and delicious meals to our guests. Once a month, she prepares and serves lunch alongside her church group. She is also always willing to lend a hand in the food pantry. Bobby considers our guests to be part of her family, and that love and care can be seen in the way she shows up for them day after day. On any given day, you can find Bobby somewhere at New Covenant Center, simply asking, ‘What needs to be done?’”

{ BREAST CANCER VISIONARY }

KAILE ZAGGER

ORGANIZATION: Pink Aid

INSPIRATION
“I was thirteen when my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and nineteen when I held her hand for the last time,” says Kaile Zagger. “Those six tender, difficult years shaped the woman I would become. I came to know illness in all its cruelty, yet I also witnessed a grace that lives in me still: a gentle circle of women, friends and neighbors who carried us when we could no longer carry ourselves. That is where my devotion to giving back quietly took root.” With generations of breast and ovarian cancer in her family, Kaile received her own cancer diagnosis this year. “Once again, I was cradled by remarkable people, a beautiful community and boundless love,” she says. “I try to give back so that every woman walking through her most fragile season may feel that same embrace.”

COURAGE INTO ACTION
Kaile’s mother’s cancer was misdiagnosed and, thirty-two years later, that issue continues. “Women’s cancers are still too often overlooked or discovered too late,” says Kaile. “Ovarian cancer rarely speaks aloud; it whispers through back pain, bloating and subtle shifts, and a few thoughtful questions about symptoms and family history can alter the course of a life.” Kaile spearheaded a program, the MAT Designation, named for her mother (Marilyn Ann Trahan), which she describes as “a rigorous course and examination that helps physicians recognize women’s cancers early.” This work has been honored with two proclamations from the state of Connecticut.

Another burden of cancer is “financial toxicity. One in four women must step away from work or reduce her hours, and even with private insurance, costs rise by an average of $600 a month,” says Kaile. She knows; she endured three major surgeries in six months. “I witnessed firsthand how swiftly the costs of healing gather, from nourishment to hyperbaric therapy to lymphatic care, most of it unreimbursed. Too many women are forced to choose between healing and life’s simplest essentials.” This is why Kaile is passionate about Pink Aid, a Westport-based organization with a mission to close that gap. Pink Aid has delivered more than $6 million in emergency financial aid to breast cancer patients since 2015.

Now Kaile, who is Global Head of Healthcare & Life Sciences at Riveron, has founded the Visionary Circle, a corporate healthcare advisory council, to help advance Pink Aid’s mission.

HOPES & DREAMS
“Pink Aid is at capacity, unable to serve many deserving women, while 180,000 await emergency support,” laments Kaile. “I envision the Visionary Circle as the heart of our next chapter: a community of accomplished leaders who will help us grow our resources exponentially, deepen our corporate partnerships and extend our reach to the places where women are suffering most. My dream is a world in which no woman must choose between her health and her family’s stability.”

Words of Praise

“Kaile Zagger is a true force. We are incredibly fortunate to have her championing Pink Aid’s mission. Through her leadership in launching the Visionary Circle, Kaile is opening doors to new corporate partnerships and collaboration with world-class thought leaders. Kaile aims to expand Pink Aid’s national reach. Her passion, generosity and determination to turn her own challenges into meaningful change are truly inspiring.”
— Courtney Prussin, Pink Aid Board Member
