Board of Directors

In 2010, Vicki knew her soul passion was to help others after losing her aunt years before. Her drive was strong and she wanted to share this pursuit with those in need. She gathered a team that shared her enthusiasm and formed the 501(c)3 organization, Shadows Foundation. From that moment forward, she has lead the organization as it engages in serving families in Northern Arizona and promotes a unified voice to help those less fortunate and increase awareness throughout the community.

​

Vicki knows the importance of partnerships with other charity organizations and how working together toward a common goal grows community business involvement.

​

Cancer hit her family again when both Vicki and her mother were diagnosed with the disease. Both have recovered but she said the scars from the experience run deep.

In 2012, Shadows Foundation achieved another milestone, “Hearts Worth Saving”, a responder program that provides our Northern Arizona First Responders an advanced screening that can detect heart conditions in this high risk population that otherwise goes undetected.

​

Helping people deal with the “Right Now” is the goal of Shadows. Vicki works hard towards a continued partnership with those who give back to our community in need. In 2013, she was awarded the Soroptimist Red Ruby award for women helping other women.

​

Recently, Shadows Foundation partnered with the Flagstaff Police Dept to develop a compassionate solution to panhandling, the Better Bucks Program. With the assistance of participating businesses this program allows donors to purchase vouchers that can be given instead of cash and used for non-alcoholic and non-tobacco related goods. In recognition for her efforts and partnership in this program, Vicki was awarded the Flagstaff Police Departments Community Champion Award. This award is given to a person/business/ entity that goes above and beyond in nurturing intra community relationships.
