The organization is seeking passionate volunteers with a strong desire to help people throughout the U.S.
Michelle Phaup, the Founder and Executive Director, is passionate about helping others. Her inspiration to organize fundraisers began when she organized a bowl-a-thon to raise money for Shannon Clark, a 12 year old girl who was diagnosed with cancer. The funds were given to Shannon to fulfill a few of her wishes before she passed. Since 1989, Michelle has raised more than $2,000,000 to help non-profit organizations and individuals pay for medical expenses. Michelle has served as a board member for many community and charitable organizations, such as, Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce, Clarkston Area Rotary Club, Children Are Precious, and Mid-Michigan Arthritis Foundation.
