Inspire inclusion. Compassion and acceptance will follow.
The people inspire me most about our mission. From our incredible staff, dedicated board members, committed volunteers, generous sponsors, and loyal donors to the exceptional children and beautiful families we serve, you can truly see and feel the difference we all make in each other’s lives. #inclusionmatters #weplay2
A native of St. Louis, Marci attended Missouri State University, Springfield, for her BFA and MA (abt). She served as the Education Director at the renowned Springfield Little Theatre. She headed west to work in film and television as an actress but also worked in television development for Bob Banner Productions and CBS Entertainment. In 1999, Marci started volunteering for Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration and currently serves as the Sr. Vice President of Outreach and Events.
Since joining Inclusion Matters, Marci has helped raise over $10 million in event revenue to support the mission. She annually produces the gala, golf tournament, run/walk/roll, and bingo events. Marci also oversees the My PlayClub program in Los Angeles, hosts the virtual Fun4All program, and manages all the social media content. Her passion is for the kids and families who participate in Inclusion Matters’ programs. As Marci celebrates 25 years with the organization, she feels blessed to work with such a devoted staff led by the wise and thoughtful Tiffany Harris. She is beyond grateful to every one of her friends who support Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration – and there are hundreds! Finally, she is thankful daily for her husband, Jack, daughter, Georgia, and son, Luke, who have been active volunteers since the beginning and give her endless support.
