Dream Foundation Announces the Appointment of Ms. Daryl Stegall to Its National Board of Directors

Santa Barbara, CA, December 08, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Dream Foundation, the only national dream-granting organization for terminally-ill adults, announced the appointment of Ms. Daryl Stegall to its National Board of Directors. As a member of the Board, Stegall will assist with overseeing Dream Foundation’s activities as well as assisting with fundraising to ensure that Dream Foundation has the ability to fulfill its mission of serving final Dreams to terminally-ill adults.

“Daryl’s passion for Dream Foundation, its mission, and its thousands of Dreamers has been unwavering,” said Kisa Heyer, Dream Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer. “Her dedication and experience make her a perfect addition to the esteemed Board and we are delighted to welcome her.”

Stegall has held several positions in the corporate sales and marketing arenas, including roles at Xerox Corporation and American Advertising. Most recently, Stegall served as a marketing and communications consultant in the clinical skincare industry, where she was instrumental in developing and implementing a skincare program for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation that is currently implemented in several nationally-recognized cancer centers.

In addition to her current role on Dream Foundation’s Board of Directors, Stegall is an advisory board member of the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara and has been actively involved in many organizations including the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, Ganna Walska Lotusland, and Crane Country Day School. Stegall has previously held board positions at the Laguna Blanca School, the International Spirit of Life Foundation, Science of Skincare, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Sarah House and the Phoenix chapters of Make-A-Wish Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and the American Heart Association’s Heart Ball.

"I am always humbled when I have the opportunity to meet a Dreamer or learn about a Dream," says Ms. Stegall. “They are rarely elaborate requests. More often than not, they are fairly simple: a wheel chair ramp so they can enjoy the park during their last days, a comfortable mattress, an airplane ticket home to spend what little time they have left with loved ones, or gathering family together for a final reunion. This is just a small sampling of the Dreams that I have come to know and I am honored to help Dream Foundation continue to grant these very important end-of-life Dreams.”

Ms. Stegall has been an active supporter of Dream Foundation since 2005 and served as the organization’s Dreamland Gala Chair in 2016 and 2017.
