ABOUT THE HOST

Christy Ivie founded Christy’s Cause in 2015 and leads the organization, bringing over 12 years of experience in strategy development and operations management in both profit and nonprofit sectors. Her experience has given her expertise in strategic planning, project management, construction management, business coaching, business start up, and business turnaround.

“I’ve always known I would use my childhood story to reach out and help children who are at-risk of sexual exploitation,” Christy said. “I am excited to be a part of a unique and growing nonprofit organization that brings hope to an otherwise desperate and dark situation.”

Christy is passionate about life and exudes hope and positivity. Her life motto has become “freedom fighter,” which she lives out through the vision of Christy’s Cause. She resides in Estero, Florida with her best friend and husband.
