Jessica Ravare

I am honored to be a wife,mother ,and grandmother attending graduate school setting an example to reach for your highest educational opportunities.My nursing experience began at the age of 18 when I became an LPN. I furthered my nursing career and completed my associate nursing degree in 1984 and my bachelor's degree in nursing in 2003. I have worked closely volunteering for the American Cancer Society (ACS) for nearly 25 years. My desire to give back to the community began after losing family members to cancer and waning to make a difference in the lives of those battling cancer. The Pink October Program that I have had the opportunity to have a key role for over 20 years has given thousands of dollars to local individuals to battling breast cancer and thousands of dollars to the ACS) for all types of cancer research and education, Our Pink October program is held annually and labeled as a ladies night out. Our event has over 1000 attendees and the monies generated is given to current breast cancer survivors and a portion to our parish Relay for Life to be dispersed to all types of cancers. Our job is not done until cancer is eradicated.
