Stacy Fuson is a rare combination of natural beauty, intelligence and true compassion. She is a succesful model, actress, spokesperson, business owner and corporate executive. Stacy began her career as a model at the age of 14. She continued her career in front of the camera as an actress, news anchor, and spokesperson. However, her continued successful career is not what defines her. It is her compassion that drives and defines much of what she does. For years Stacy has volunteered for many organizations including Wounded Warriors, Richard Karn Foundation, Toys for Tots, Phoenix Children’s Hospital and many others. Stacy currently serves on the board of the One Step Closer Foundation, a Cerebral Palsy Charity. She volunteers weekly at her church working with Special Ministries, a program for those with disabilities. Stacy can also be seen playing in celebrity charity poker tournaments in various cities.

Never one to be complacent and even with an already successful career, Stacy went back to school and earned a BA in Business Management and Organizational Leadership, from Asuza Pacific University. Stacy went on to work for Aclipsa, a startup technology company, and sits on the board of Equity Partners. Stacy also became a successful business owner, starting Vitamins by Stacy.

Stacy is keenly aware that there are those in the world who have harder lives to lead. Stacy’s mother suffered from polio and she spent many days accompanying her mother to doctor visits. She’s never forgotten those visits and the troubles her mother persevered through, along with all the other patients she saw coping with their own disabilities. It is Stacy’s deep-seated desire to make the world a better place that has led her to be so involved in many causes. It is also what led her to start her own foundation dedicated to helping disabled individuals, The Stacy Fuson Foundation.
