This Year's Honorees

Founded more than 40 years ago by a small group of passionate community members, our organization was built on the belief that everyone deserves safety, dignity, and support. Lisa Daily (Fogarty), David Goggins, and Jacqueline “Jacki” Murray were instrumental in bringing that vision to life, and their commitment did not end there.

Today, all three remain deeply involved as active volunteers, continuing to give their time, leadership, and heart to our work, including serving on our We Can Be Heroes 5K race committee. We are incredibly grateful that, four decades later, they are still walking alongside us, shaping our future while honoring our past. We are proud to carry their legacy forward and hope to continue making them proud for many years to come.

Why Your Support Matters

Funds from this event sustain Fearless!’s critical programs and services, including 24-hour crisis response and safe shelter, legal advocacy, prevention education, community outreach, and so much more. Together, we can continue to reclaim safety, restore dignity, and rebuild lives.
