About Caroline Boone

As the Development Coordinator at West Cancer Foundation, I get to combine what I love—connecting people to purpose, telling meaningful stories, and building something bigger than myself. I specialize in planning, promoting, and executing large-scale fundraising campaigns that not only raise critical support but also inspire our community to take action. My top 5 CliftonStrengths are Developer, Achiever, Belief, Learner, and Positivity. I’m energized by helping others grow, driven to get things done with excellence, grounded in purpose, and always curious about how to do things better. I genuinely believe in the work we’re doing, and I bring that enthusiasm into every project, donor interaction, and team collaboration. With an MPH and a BS in Public Health (plus a minor in Communication Studies) from Samford University, I bring a unique mix of community health knowledge and a heart for storytelling. Whether I’m coordinating logistics for a 5K, writing a donor appeal, or pitching a partnership to a corporate sponsor, I’m always thinking about how to engage others in our mission and make an impact. From building campaigns and managing events to crafting communications and digging into data, I love the blend of strategy and creativity this role offers—and I’m always excited to find new ways to make a difference.
