Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF) is excited to announce the promotion of Meredith Bankston to Event Coordinator. Meredith joined the organization in 2022 and has demonstrated dedication and skill in her previous role as Fundraising Assistant, leading to her advancement within the organization.
In her new position, Meredith will play a crucial role in overseeing and managing all aspects of larger in-person fundraising events, such as galas and casino nights. Her responsibilities will include collaborating with local event coordinators, ensuring they have the necessary support for successful planning and execution of their events.

The success of these fundraising events is evident, as they contributed to raising over $1.3 million dollars for DSF in 2023. This achievement highlights the significant impact of these events on the organization’s overall fundraising efforts. Meredith’s role will not only streamline the planning process but also relieve the workload for event hosts, allowing them to create enjoyable and successful events that also raise awareness for Dravet syndrome within a broader audience.
