Dana is deeply committed to supporting veterans, a passion that stems from her personal experiences. As the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran, Dana has a profound understanding of the sacrifices made by those who serve. Her father, who lived in Virginia, tragically passed away from three different types of cancer, all linked to Agent Orange exposure. During the time she spent driving from Ohio to Virginia to be with him every other week, she realized how invaluable a Fisher House would have been for her family. This experience fueled her dedication to the Fisher House cause.

She first heard about the Greater Cleveland Fisher House during its capital campaign and was eager to contribute in any way she could. Over time, her involvement grew, and she had the privilege of connecting with others who shared the same commitment to supporting veterans.

Dana has spent almost 25 years working at her local American Legion, where she also served in various roles within the Auxiliary, including Treasurer, First Vice, Sergeant-at-Arms, Junior’s Chairperson, and Community Service Chairperson.

She remains actively involved with veterans and her community, and said, “It is an honor to serve on the Greater Cleveland Fisher House Board. I am committed to doing everything in my power to support those who have served our nation.”
