Exploring Nonprofit Impact: 2026 Heroes for Hallie Grace Board Update

Producer Dee Daniels hosts Grace, Grief and Grit with Heroes for Hallie Grace board members Randi Hempel-Adams - Co-Owner of Coastal Pickleball, Cindy Brown - Co-Owner All About You Entertainment, and Derek Llamas - Owner of Coastal Strategy Group to discuss their connections to Hallie Grace and the rest of the family, personal experiences with loss, and the mission to support families affected by epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and fund research for a cure.

They highlight the organization’s growth beyond Savannah through speaking engagements and butterfly care bundles, and promote the annual Butterfly Ball on June 5, themed “Over the Rainbow” for Hallie’s fifth (golden) birthday, including a butterfly release, music, food, and a silent auction.

The episode outlines sponsorship and donation options (including DJ/photo booth, auction items, and volunteering), encourages ticket purchases and sharing the cause, and notes fundraising goals such as eventually funding paid staff.
