Lisa moved around a bit after graduating college, just trying to figure it out. While living in Baltimore in the mid 90’s, she was fortunate enough to realize her dream of taking her singing to the next level and sang professionally in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Chorus. Once married, she settled in the Lehigh Valley.
Lisa and her husband separated in 2009 and divorced in 2011. She and her young adult twins are survivors of domestic abuse. They were fortunate enough to have an amazing tribe to help them navigate the rocky waters of years in the system. Lisa realized so many are not as lucky. While living through her own nightmare, she chose to fight for others and began raising funds for Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley in hopes of helping survivors find their way to a better life. It has been a long-time dream of hers to host an annual Celebrity Golf Event to raise more awareness, education and funds for this wonderful cause and to make a difference in someone’s life. The 2023 event was a huge success!
When her kids were young, Lisa was busy building her career as a Commercial Real Estate Agent while fighting to keep her kids safe and happy. Lisa and her kids are proof you can beat the odds and build something amazing!
Lisa believes in working hard, playing hard, loving with an open heart, and giving back to those less fortunate.
“I am overwhelmed with pride and joy to see this dream come true! I am forever grateful for everyone who helped make this possible.”

Human Sex Trafficking has become an increasingly devastating issue in the world and is a widespread problem in the Lehigh Valley. In an effort to help combat this horrific trade, The Strength ‘n Love Classic has partnered with DeliverFund to raise funds to support their mission to disrupt trafficking networks and deliver justice for survivors. Every dollar raised supports investigations that are happening today, in communities just like ours. Together, we can help ensure that traffickers face consequences—and that law enforcement has the tools they need to protect the vulnerable.
Please join us on September 17th, 2026 for our 3rd annual Celebrity Casino Event at Woodstone Country Club where we will launch an app for you to use and share to help protect your loved ones from becoming a statistic.
DeliverFund Mission: DeliverFund disrupts global human trafficking markets by combining uniquely qualified personnel with the best technologies and then leveraging them in new ways to reach and rescue victims of human trafficking. We deploy counterterrorism strategies to locate human traffickers, rescue victims, and dismantle trafficking markets.
About Our 2026 Beneficiary: DeliverFund
Fighting Human Trafficking Through Intelligence
Human trafficking doesn’t stop at county lines, and neither does DeliverFund. Founded by former CIA officer and special military operator, Nic McKinley, DeliverFund brings elite intelligence capabilities to the fight against one of the world’s fastest-growing crimes.
While many organizations focus on rescue and aftercare, DeliverFund operates upstream—gathering the intelligence that puts traffickers behind bars and prevents future victims. Using the same counterterrorism tactics that disrupted terrorist networks overseas, DeliverFund’s team of intelligence analysts supports over 600 law enforcement agencies across the United States, including agencies right here in Pennsylvania, with cutting-edge technology and investigative support.
The results speak for themselves: DeliverFund maintains a 100% conviction rate in cases they support. That means every trafficker they help identify goes to prison. Every network they help dismantle stops exploiting victims. Every investigation they support creates lasting change.
Why Your Support Matters
Law enforcement agencies are overwhelmed. Human trafficking cases are complex, time-consuming, and require specialized skills that many departments simply don’t have the resources to develop. DeliverFund acts as a force multiplier—providing the intelligence analysis, technology, and investigative support that turns leads into prosecutions.
When you support this event, you’re funding:
This isn’t charity—it’s partnership. DeliverFund works shoulder-to-shoulder with people like you and federal, state, and local law enforcement to build cases that stick. Your donation directly funds the intelligence work that’s dismantling trafficking operations and protecting victims right now.
