About Gina Harrow:
Executive Director, Yellow Ribbon Fund

Gina Harrow is the Executive Director of Yellow Ribbon Fund (YRF), a role that she has filled with distinction. She blends her professional leadership with personal experiences that resonate with those she serves. Over the past eight years, she has taken the YRF to new heights, widening the scope of its support services for services members and their families.

Previously, she made her mark as the Deputy Executive Director and the Keystone Program Director, leading the creation of a comprehensive suite of transitional services. Her initiatives have included health and wellness education, family retreats, and peer support, reaching caregivers in multiple regional locations. Her work is grounded in genuine understanding, as her leadership style has been shaped by her own experiences with the challenges faced by so many others in the veteran community.

Before joining YRF, Gina built a strong foundation in business operations and financial management through her work with SAP Concur and American Express and her B.A. in Finance from St. John’s University. This unique combination of corporate expertise and personal insight has not only propelled the mission of YRF forward but has also earned her national recognition for work with the veteran space. In 2023, she was honored as one of the Nation’s Finest 50, a testament to her advocacy and dedication to veterans.

Gina’s journey with YRF is more than a career; it’s a dedication born from her personal story of resilience – reflecting her strength, and offering hope and support to others moving through their own paths of recovery. Her empathetic approach and unwavering commitment make her not just a leader in her field, but a true inspiration to the community she serves.

Gina currently lives in sunny Boca Raton, FL, with her husband, Capt Ben Harrow (ret), and their two children.

About Sarah Doyle:

Luxury Travel Advisor, Valerie Wilson Travel, Inc.

"To those whom much is given, much is expected". -JFK

This is the quote that Sarah lives by everyday. Born and raised in Portland Maine by loving, supportive and hard working parents, Sarah and her younger sister Leslie were exposed to "giving back" at an early age by their mother. As a senior in high school, and with the support of her parents, Sarah invited her fellow classmate and his younger brother, who were both homeless, to live with her family for the winter.

Her proudest "give back" was surrogating and delivering twins in 2013 for her brother-in-law and sister-in-law after 2 tragic events.

Curious about life in general and a lover of travel and exploration, Sarah found the career of her dreams a few years ago, as a luxury travel advisor with Valerie Wilson Travel; one of the most renowned travel agencies in the business. Sarah plans high touch, individually curated, lux vacations with white glove service, all over the world. These vacations include hotels, villas, cruises & yacht charters, all transportation including private planes, tours, VIP ticketed events, and much more.

Sarah went to Boston University and studied Economics and French. There she met Matt, the love of her life and husband of 21 years. After graduation she worked in finance at Goldman Sachs in Boston and Miami, and then at a boutique stock market research firm in Boca. With the arrival of her beautiful daughters, Ava & Jordanna, 18 and 16 respectively, Sarah took on the most important job of her life as a stay at home mom. Already a Junior Leaguer, Sarah got more involved with the League and over the years has served on the Board, chaired Woman Volunteer of the Year and myriad committees and currently is Secretary of the Endowment Board. Sarah is also a Women of Tomorrow Mentor at Santaluces Community High School and has been reviewing GSSF applications for 6 years. A side effect of her volunteerism has been making so many beautiful and inspirational friends.

Other anecdotal information about Sarah...Loves self-deprecating humor, sugar candy, all John Hughes movies and a good challenge.
