Meet the Team!

As the Board of Director for Saints Helping Saints we thought it would be nice to introduce ourselves. This way you can get to know us and why we love supporting and being involved in Saints Helping Saints.

Jennifer Dunaway - Co-Founder and President

 

I'm Jennifer Hemmer Dunaway and I am a co-founder and President of Saints Helping Saints. I graduated from Seton in 2001 and Wright State University 2005.  In 2006 I married my "high school sweet heart", we have 3 beautiful little boys. In 2010 I was working as a salesperson for a commercial roofing firm when I became aware of a few follow Seton alums who had children who had been diagnosed with Leukemia. I wanted to do something to help so I asked on facebook if anyone else was interested. A week later I was meeting with 4 other classmates to discuss how we could help. Saints Helping Saints was born.

After about 2 years of volunteering with Saints Helping Saints my husband I decided to move back to Western Hills (from Lebanon, Ohio) and I joined Seton High School as a Director of Major Gift and Events and I am now the Senior Director of Development.

Saints Helping Saints has been a blessing in my life. It has opened my family and life to focus on service first. My children have learned from the work we do and have established their own interest in serving our community. The most importantly I have had the opportunity to establish friendships and relationships with women in our community that I never would have had otherwise. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

Raven Faircloth - Co-Founder and Vice President

 

My name is Raven Wagner Faircloth. I am of the Class of 2001. I am married and have 3 beautiful children.  I enjoyed my experience at Seton although looking back wished I had got more involved.  That's one of the reasons I joined Saints Helping Saints when I saw Jen's post on facebook about trying to get together to help those in our Seton Community that children with cancer.  All I could think was what if it were on of my children with an illness? So, although I had not seen any of these girls in a very long time most since high school I decided to go to the meeting to see what I do to help.

 

I'm so very happy that I went, I not only got to help so many families in need and got to meet so many inspirational people, I also gained some awesome friends, friends that I know will be there to help me back up if I fall down.

 

I am now the Vice- President after serving two years as the Treasurer.
