She is proud to have named the foundation after her stepmother.
Ms. Lawson has continued her service as a volunteer, a wig coordinator and a look good feel better facilitator with the American Cancer Society from 2001 to 2019. Since 2016, she has provided haircuts for the local homeless population through Habcore Housing the Homeless.
