Sara has been fundraising for LLS for over 20 years after losing her brother when he was just 20 years old. According to Sara, “I cannot imagine how scary it is to hear the words YOU HAVE CANCER and I know firsthand from watching my brother battle this disease, that we need to find a cure. The good news is that there have been huge improvements to treatment, and we are closer than ever to a cure. I will keep fighting every day for a cure because beating cancer is in my blood.” Outside of LLS, Sara is heavily engaged in the Phoenix community. She has been involved with many organizations including Suns 88, Phoenix Alumnae Panhellenic, Junior League of Phoenix, The Joyride Society, and the KNOW Women.  She runs her own consulting business, Sara Mayer consulting and in her free time enjoys talking her dog to the park, hiking, and horseback riding.
