Danielle Stever, founder Heading For Hope

danielle@headingforhope.com

1. How did the idea for Heading for Hope come about? We are involved in a number of causes at my place of employment, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun to do these things with people I know.

2. How does the organization differ from other philanthropic entities? Our motto is no pressure and no problem. People can volunteer when they have time, and there is no hassles or bureaucracy.

3. Who decides the causes? We get together at our meetings and brainstorm. We then list all of the events and activities on our Facebook page, which is an open group and anyone can join.

4. What has the group been involved with thus far? The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Forgotten Soldiers, MS Walks, Habitat for Humanity to name but a few.

5. How many people are in the group? We have 75 members to date all over South Florida, and we also have postings in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

6. What is the ultimate goal? Ideally, we would like to see this catch on across the country. We are a group of friends that like to volunteer and raise money together, and it would be wonderful to see the initiative replicated in other cities.
