Staying sensible: Stevens credits having an assistant to keeping her sane and on schedule.

After losing her mother to cancer, Stevens started a local fundraising effort nine years ago. Named VolleyFest (renamed The Sport of Giving in 2008 to encompass numerous other sports and activities), Stevens is founder and president of this all-volunteer organization. To date, it’s raised more than $1 million to influence the care, diagnosis and prevention of breast cancer in metro Atlanta.
