WE CARE TEAM

Tasha serves as the Executive Director of the We Care Foundation. For her, We Care is more than a role, it’s a personal mission. As the mother of a childhood cancer survivor, Tasha has experienced the fear, exhaustion, and emotional toll that a cancer diagnosis brings to a family. That life-changing journey inspired her to dedicate herself to supporting other families facing similar battles.

Her work with We Care is rooted in compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of what these families endure. Through her leadership, she provides not only critical resources but also hope and reassurance to those navigating the most difficult times of their lives.

Tasha’s dedication is shared by her entire family, who are actively involved in supporting the foundation’s mission. Together, they give their time, energy, and hearts to make a lasting difference. For Tasha, We Care isn’t just an organization, it’s a reflection of her family’s values, her personal story, and her life’s purpose.

Roberta Elliott, Secretary of the We Care Foundation, began volunteering as a camp nurse in 1991 while working in pediatrics at Sparks. She quickly connected with the mission and served at camp for 25 years. Roberta provided medical care, assisting in the kitchen, and leading craft activities.

Her sons and sister Ruth also volunteered over the years, making it a meaningful family tradition. Roberta especially valued seeing the campers grow in confidence through swimming, canoeing, fishing, and outdoor activities.

Beyond camp, she has remained deeply involved, helping organize events, delivering holiday gifts, supporting office operations, and contributing to various fundraisers. Her long-standing commitment reflects a deep dedication to the children and families We Care serves.
