Junior Board of Directors

Mia

Chair

Hello! I’m Mia, and I am the Chair of the Junior Board as well as a senior at Westfield High School. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to see the impacts of ECF in so many ways during my few years following and being a part of the foundation. Before I was on the Jr. Board, I volunteered at the Clark office and began to understand the care and emotion that goes into ECF’s dedication to the families we serve. After being accepted to the board and serving as a special assignments member for a while, I had the opportunity to become the vice-chair of the board, and then the chair. I strive to continue the legacy of all the Jr. Board members who came before me, and honor Emmanuel Vizzoni by helping the community in every way I can. Cancer is a hard-fought journey, but it should never be fought alone. I am honored to be in this role, surrounded by the most amazing people fighting alongside every family.

Anastasia

Corresponding Secretary

Hi guys! My name is Anastasia, I am from Carlstadt, NJ, and I’m thrilled to be the ECF Junior Board Corresponding Secretary. I am currently a freshman at Seton Hall University in a dual degree B.S./M.B.A. Program with a focus in Marketing, and I am an EOP Scholar for the Education Opportunity Fund Program. I love being a part of ECF knowing that I am making a difference in many children’s lives. My favorite part of what we do is seeing the children we are helping, in person, for example at the holiday party. These experiences are extremely heartwarming, getting to see smiles on children’s faces.

Paige

Treasurer

Hi, I’m Paige! I am currently a freshman at the Ohio State University and proud to be the Treasurer for the ECF Jr. board! I continue to stay very active in my school and this organization, building on the foundation over the past three years. I have been helping in every way I can and I remain grateful for the inspiring opportunities that have shaped me into who I am. I look forward to continuing the effort to give back to the children and their families along with inspiring others through our work!

Izzy

Recording Secretary

Hi! My name is Izzy. I’m from Middletown, NJ, and I am currently a freshman at Clemson University. I am the Recording Secretary on the Jr. Board and have been a member since my sophomore year of high school. I got involved with ECF about 3 years ago through my mom and since have made it an important part of my life. I have brought ECF into my high school through fundraisers and hopefully will be able to make it a part of my college life as well! Outside of the Jr. Board, I am involved in my sorority’s volunteering with Make A Wish, the ASL club at my school, and Clemson Life’s special needs outreach program! :)

Reese

Social Media Team

Hello! My name is Reese and I am from Clark, NJ. I am currently studying architecture at the University of Hartford. I first learned of the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation through family members. Through my research on ECF, I found out that it was an organization dedicated to providing financial and emotional support to children who have cancer and their families. The more I learned, the more I was truly amazed at the dedication and commitment of those who are a part of the ECF organization. I knew I had to be a part of it, and I began to volunteer weekly in the Clark, NJ office. Soon I applied and was accepted into the Junior Board. I am so lucky that I am able to contribute to this cause and I can't believe I get to work with this incredible team!

Riley

Social Media Manager

My name is Riley and I’m a junior at Immaculate Heart Academy! I was introduced to ECF through one of their social workers, and as I learned more about the organization, I couldn’t wait to get involved. I’m involved in several clubs at IHA, serve as a student ambassador and member of Christian Service Board, the LIGHT Youth Ministry Council, and I run cross country and track. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Junior Board and look forward to supporting ECF’s mission!
