About Blair Leyva
I lead development and communications at 18 Reasons, where food is at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just about fundraising or events; it’s about creating moments that inspire generosity and connection. My work is rooted in strategy, guided by heart, and fueled by the belief that food has the power to bring people together and change lives.
