Barbara West

An Emmy Award winning news journalist, Barbara enjoyed reporting about the powerful work nonprofits did in the communities. Her televised blood drives raised more than 60,000 units of blood and her stories on health and community needs generated floods of financial contributions. She personally raised 2.7 million dollars for survivors of the first responders who lost their lives on 9-11. After anchoring the news for 25 years, Barbara left television to devote herself to fundraising for deserving organizations nationwide. She is AmFund’s co-founder.
