Melissa Yeager, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Claire’s Place Foundation

Since the planning stages of Claire’s Place Foundation, Melissa has spent countless hours working for the cause and, of course, raising her two children, Claire (the foundation’s namesake) and Ellie. With many years’ experience in project management and event planning, she has the drive and the experience needed to get the foundation off the ground as well as the personal history of raising a child with cystic fibrosis. Melissa is also a strong supporter of many charities and fundraising activities in her community, mostly related to causes that support families and children living with this and other rare diseases.

Founding Claire’s Place Foundation has been a way for Melissa to give back and share her experience with other families living with cystic fibrosis. “We have always been blessed with a supportive family and a wonderful group of friends. It is my hope that we can provide the same type of support to families walking this path alone. It definitely takes a village or in this case a foundation to raise a child with a chronic, life threatening disease like cystic fibrosis”
