Beth
Hometown: Avon, OH
Beth has been giving back for quite some time now. Since 2003, Beth and her crew have been holding fundraisers to collect money and awareness for Crohns and Colitis diseases. After Beth visited patients who suffered from this disease, she realized that these people needed help in covering costs for their illness, such as surgeries, meals, medicine, and transportation. Beth holds 2 fundraisers a year for this causes and has been successful in helping pay off patient's gas, food, and travel expenses during their hardship. Along with helping those who live with this disease, Beth is also thinking of the patient's families. Recently, Beth bought recliners for families who find themselves staying the night at the hospital with their loved ones. Wow, thank you Beth!
