Kristin is a lawyer. In September 2004, she took a leave of absence from her longstanding career as a business litigator with Arnall Golden Gregory LLP to work as the Senior Vice President of Community and Business Development for a national childhood cancer organization. In that role, she worked closely with pitching star Tom Glavine, and his wife, Chris, and their efforts – among other things – resulted in Major League Baseball joining the fight against childhood cancer through the Commissioner’s Initiative for Kids, which raised over $1.5 million for childhood cancer research.  Kristin came “home” to CURE, wanting to be closer to the children and families she had come to know and love.

Lisa relocated with her family to the Atlanta area in 2008 and quickly became a key volunteer in the CURE office.  Her first introduction to CURE came in 2006 as she walked the childhood cancer journey with a close friend.  Through this journey, Lisa was often overwhelmed by the problems children diagnosed with cancer and their families faced and became an integral part of her friend’s support.  In her role at CURE, Lisa will have the opportunity to directly support other families as they face the difficult trials of childhood cancer.

Previously, she served as Director of Annual Fund & Leadership Gifts at St. Martin’s Episcopal School in Brookhaven.  In her role in the Advancement office she helped raise more than $7.8 million in her four and a half years, including campaign work to build a new Middle School building.  Prior to that, she did two years of fundraising for Mustard Seed Communities, a grass roots non-profit organization that serves children in the third world.  Dawn recently completed her MBA from Marylhurst University with a Nonprofit Management concentration.

Dawn recently graduated from 2011 Leadership Sandy Springs class.  She serves as the Vice President of Education for the Greater Atlanta Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and also the Development Chair of the board for Community Action Center.

Dawn contributes most of her knowledge and wisdom from the five years of classroom experience she gained as a teacher, as well as her experience working in the third world with abandoned children with disabilities.  She has a passion for helping others and when she’s not working, she’s either reading, volunteering her time or hanging out with her 11 year old Labrador, Wiles.

Tania was drawn to CURE because she believes that every child should have the opportunity to live life to the fullest.  She believes in CURE, its people and the battle to fight each and every day to conquer childhood cancer.

Tania is called Nona to 7 grandchildren.
