Tampa Team

Sister to Sister has dedicated professionals in Tampa that work year-round to raise awareness about heart disease in women.

Barbara Stefany

Barbara Stefany, Campaign Manager
Barbara founded EventMakers in Tampa 26 years ago, as a result of producing events in a downtown revitalization effort.  This led to greater community outreach and service in many non-profit arenas.  Sister to Sister will never be far from Barbara's heart because her daughter's life was saved during a Health Fair screening.

Kristin Passath

Kristin Passath, Campaign Manager
In 2007 Kristin was identified at the Miami Sister to Sister Heart Health Fair as having catastrophic high blood pressure, which would have gone undetected due to her age, athletic lifestyle and good eating habits.  Since crediting Sister to Sister with saving her life, she has become a passionate advocate of its mission and work.  In 2008, she became president of EventMakers, a family-owned business.
