Lisa is also the founder of the Broken Homes Mended Hearts foundation. An organization that provides funds and support to organizations that assist families and children who are going through a divorce or broken home situation.  

 Lisa says “I have experienced situations throughout my life where I witnessed a lack of support to others in need. Joining the Junior League of Evansville in 2007 provided me with skills and training to be a civic leader so I could advocate, execute, and market an event. It taught me to network and collaborate as well as taught me about being committed to community impact”. When Lisa is not volunteering, she enjoys music, dancing, baking, and spending time with her husband and two children Nathan (11) and Rebecca (5). Â
