Charles & Rebecca Veigle Jr. and Family
Since their
eldest daughter, Hannah’s, T1D diagnosis the entire Veigle Family has been a
powerhouse of influence and commitment to JDRF.
Charlie and Rebecca Veigle have been a part of the Central Florida
Chapter beginning in 2011. Over their
years of involvement they have been the top fundraising Family Walk Team
multiple years in a row, been significant contributors to the success and
growth of the Imagine Gala, and Hannah has participated in JDRF’s Children’s
Congress, was our 2015 Imagine Gala Fund A Cure Speaker, and is a consistent
advocate for JDRF and T1D research on every platform she holds.
As much as
Charlie, Rebecca, and Hannah have done for JDRF the role the Veigle's play
truly is a family affair. Both Charlie’s
mom, Gerri Leaman, and sister, Jennifer Mavrofrides, have participated in
multiple JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes events and Gerri has served on our
Chapter’s Board of Directors since 2015.
On the Board, Gerri is our Government Relations volunteer. She puts together meetings with our local
government officials and is one of the most passionate advocates for JDRF and
our mission to end T1D this chapter has ever seen.
For all
these reasons and so many more the Central Florida Chapter is grateful for this
opportunity to honor Charles & Rebecca Veigle Jr. and Family at the 2017
Imagine Gala!
