BIOGRAPHY
Ann is an American who met her Italian husband, an ex-officer in the Caribbean, on board a cruise ship, fell in love and, as the saying goes, “That’s Amore.” She has been living in Genoa, Italy with her husband and two daughters for the past 32 years.
She is a professional nurse having completed her studies at W.R. Harper Chicago (USA) before moving abroad. Her philanthropic work began in 1986. She has been an active member in the community ever since, working with various church and school groups.
She has worked with charitable organizations on an international level with her participation on the board of administration serving her very well. She was 2nd Vice-President of FAWCO (The Federation of American Women’s Club Overseas) from 2001-2003 and is presently a member of The FAWCO Foundation Board of Directors in the position of Individual Giving Advisor. While serving The FAWCO Foundation, she is remembered for the successful cruise which helped raise funds for the Paul Newman Association of Hole in the Wall Camps here in Italy and around the world. She has become well known for her fundraising ideas, her ability to create and work with the team spirit, but, most of all, her talent lies in the organization, communication and motivation in bringing projects to life, events and vacations that spread her own enthusiasm and the true spirit of charity.
Her motto has become “Giving through charity can be twice the happiness. By enjoying a wonderful vacation, you give to yourself and make others happy too”.
So get inspired, as her enthusiasm is contagious. Book a vacation for your group and know that this simple act can make a happier life for someone less fortunate. Being part of a group on vacation creates the opportunity to make new friendships, offers moments of reflection and inspiration, yet provides the good feeling that you know you are giving to others.
Be part of VACATIONS FOR CHARITY with Ann!
