Caryn Becker
PRESIDENT
In 2011, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was important to me to find survivors and those that supported survivors. Thankfully I found the Sue's Gift right away. I've been volunTEALing for them ever since. I became a board member because I knew how important this organization was to the community. I'm married to Bill and we have a 14 year old dog, Annie. I love to hike and read. I am a Realtor specializing in El Paso County real estate. |

Susan Dinapoli
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
My family started this organization after we lost my mom, Sue, to ovarian cancer. My mother was always concerned about a patient’s ability to afford treatment. Helping women in this way, in her name, is such an honor. Supporting women throughout their cancer journey is incredibly rewarding, I am grateful to be able to do this work. I am also a mom to 2 amazing boys and 2 tiny dogs. |
