Wonder Women Beneficiaries

IAustin Monthly is excited to partner with two Austin charities that highlight local women doing amazing things: Susan G Komen and CareBOX.


Susan G. Komen® Austin is an Austin-based nonprofit committed to saving lives locally and fighting breast cancer globally. Komen Austin is the only local breast cancer organization attacking the disease on all fronts – education, screening, treatment, follow up care, survivorship support, advocacy, and research. The organization serves the women and men in the city’s five-county area battling breast cancer by removing barriers to care for the uninsured and underinsured. Of the funds raised annually, Komen Austin invests up to 75 percent into local community health care grants and educational initiatives; the remaining 25 percent is invested into global research to find the cures for breast cancer.


CareBOX is a local charity started by Austinite women, Jillian Domingue and Lisa Keefauver. More than 1 in 5 cancer patients die from the effects of malnutrition, infections, and injuries from falls rather than the disease itself. CareBOX Program’s mission is to help prevent these complications by inviting cancer patients in Central Texas to build a custom wishlist of care supplies, specific to their needs, based on their diagnosis and effects of treatment. These are primarily items not covered by insurance and many barriers exist that prevent accessing them. The CareBOX Program removes these barriers by delivering the supplies (generally a trunk full) directly to the patient’s home via volunteers.

Luncheon Speakers

Amanda tatom

emcee & Moderator


Host, Studio512

Amanda Tatom is having the time of her life.  As the host of Austin lifestyle show Studio512 on KXAN, she has been transformed into a mermaid, flown high above the ATX in a biplane doing spirals and 360’s, and shot a flamethrower…and that’s just for starters.  The Plano native always wanted a career in television and after graduating from Texas Tech University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, she spent ten years reporting and anchoring for the NBC and CBS affiliates in Lubbock.  Leaving the business after the birth of her first daughter was the beginning of eight precious years at home growing her family (three girls!), driving carpool and volunteering at her daughters’ schools. Then serendipity struck.  Applying for the Studio512 job on a whim, Amanda got the call she was hired as the host on her 40th birthday. She loves exploring Austin and the Texas Hill Country doing a job that never lets her take herself too seriously while sharing one of the most precious lessons she’s learned:  it’s never too late to chase a dream because you just might catch it.

Emily Ramshaw

Editor-in-Chief, The Texas Tribune

Emily Ramshaw is editor-in-chief of The Texas Tribune. Under her leadership, the Tribune has won six national Edward R. Murrow Awards, IRE's Gannett Award for Innovation in Watchdog Journalism and a general excellence award from the Online News Association. Before coming aboard as one of the Tribune’s original reporters, Ramshaw spent six years at The Dallas Morning News, where she broke national stories about sexual abuse inside Texas’ youth lock-ups, reported from inside a West Texas polygamist compound, uncovered “fight clubs” inside state institutions for the disabled and investigated a series of deadly transplants where patients received rabies-tainted organs. The Texas APME named Ramshaw its 2008 Star Reporter of the Year.

ALlison Ashley

 

Teacher, Austin ISD

Ali teaches third grade dual language at Becker Elementary in Austin, Texas and is the 2017 Texas Teacher of the Year. As a Board Certified teacher, Ali mentors candidates pursuing National Board Certification through a candidacy program in her district and is a member of Teach Plus’ Texas Teacher Advisory Board. As a 2015 Hope Street Group National Teacher Fellow, Ali worked on a collaborative research project on teacher preparation programs, which was then published and shared with the education community. Previously, she coached new teachers as a program director at Teach For America and has held various leadership roles at its summer training institute. She has degrees from Boston College and Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Celeste was named as a “person to watch in 2016” by the Austin American Statesman and recently honored by Austin Monthly for community leadership.  She is passionate about access to the arts and early childhood education for all children and enjoys all of Austin’s treasures with her husband, Ray, and two year old daughter, Mary Louise.
