Bonnie St. John will speak at the 5th Annual Benefit, to be held at The Ritz–Carlton, Amelia Island. Bonnie is a nationally-recognized author, inspirational speaker, executive coach, former athlete, mother and TV personality – of whom NBC Nightly News said: “Bonnie is one of the five most inspiring women in America.”  She grew up on a low-income, crime-ridden environment near Los Angeles and lost a leg at age five to a medical disorder.

In 1984, she competed in the Paralympics in Austria and was the first African-American to win medals in downhill ski racing: one silver and two bronze medals. <read more...>
