Welcome to Participant's Page

Name: Lisa Soltis

Company: City of Roanoke

Title: Senior Economic Development Specialist

Goal: $2,000

Why I am Participating:
As a Roanoke native, dedicated to economic development and building connections in the valley, I have always been a supporter of the wonderful work of our local non-profit organizations. A regular attendee of the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation annual luncheon, I always enjoyed the event and hearing about the advances being made and local resources available. Last year however, I became even more interested when my daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40. Thankfully, early detection and swift treatment has made for a smooth journey thus far, but I realize that is not possible for all. I am honored to be a Sole Star this year in honor of my daughter, and as an advocate for early detection and access to quality treatment for all.

What is a Sole Star?

The Sole Stars campaign engages leaders in our communities as representatives in the fight against breast cancer.  During the month-long campaign, each Sole Star will raise or give a minimum of $1,000, which will be used to support the work of the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation (VBCF.) The money raised through the Roanoke Sole Stars campaign will pay for breast health services like diagnostic mammograms, MRIs, ultrasounds and biopsies for uninsured and underinsured women in Southwest Virginia.

VBCF Sole Star (noun): a very important person providing support for our mission to eradicate breast cancer by raising awareness and funds in their community and providing traction for our mission; willing to have fun while wearing awesome pink shoes!
