She loves being active in the community, participating every year with talented young, local golfers in the “Jimmy V Jr Celebrity Golf Classic,” raising money for pediatric cancer research. She has also taken part in various fundraising events benefiting groups ranging from the MDA, American Cancer Society, and Building Together Ministries.
