We’re celebrating National Volunteer Week by introducing you to a handful of our amazing volunteers! Today we’re profiling Alan Sartirana, who performs the ultimate volunteer assignment of serving on Pablove’s Board of Directors. Here’s what we learned about Alan in a recent interview:

I discovered The Pablove Foundation by…
I’ve known Jo Ann and Jeff for most of my time here in Los Angeles and met Pablo at many of our FILTER functions and events Jeff brought him to.

I volunteer for The Pablove Foundation by…
Shaping the organizational strategy and supporting the growth of the foundation as a member of our Board of Directors.

My go-to, can’t-live-without treat is…
Lion Bars

When I’m not fighting childhood cancer with love I am…
Busy running FILTER Magazine and Creative Group, where “good music will prevail”!

My formula for happiness is…

• Lucia (my daughter)
• Sebastian (my son)
• Wendy (my wife)
• Cash (my dog, not $)
• Music

I fell in pablove with The Pablove Foundation when…
Jeff and Pablo were buddies and I aspired to have such an amazing relationship with my children. My son Sebastian had a playdate with Pablo while he was in treatment and it really struck me how kids with cancer just want to be kids – imagining, playing, creating, having fun… Pablo was the epitome of that. When Jo Ann and Jeff asked me to join The Pablove Foundation’s Board I thought of that day and how I am so very fortunate to have healthy children. Since then, I have joined in the fight that Jo Ann and Jeff harnessed with their love of Pablo to help them on their crusade to find cures for pediatric cancers and improve the lives of kids and families living with cancer.
