Inspire inclusion. Compassion and acceptance will follow.
What inspires me most about our mission are the people. 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

In 1999, Marci started volunteering for Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration and currently serves as the Sr. Vice President of Outreach & Events.

She is beyond grateful to each and every one of her friends who support Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration – and there are hundreds!
