Fitzmaurice, her business and her philanthropic contributions have received national attention. She was recently voted to the No. 1 spot on Fast Company magazine’s “Fast 50: Reader Favorites 2007” list, an annual compilation of “people doing extraordinary things” as voted by readers of the publication and visitors to their website.
And most recently she has been recognized by Yoplait, Susan G. Komen and Self Magazine as a recipient of the 2007 Yoplait Champion Award. A designation spotlighting 25 individuals making extraordinary strides in the fight against breast cancer.
Jeanne’s mantra of “purpose before personal profitability” has, ironically, driven the success of Design-her Gals, and has allowed this for-profit company to set a goal to raise $1,000,000 for the Gal to Gal Foundation over the next three years. These funds will be dedicated to Making Memories, an organization who grants wishes exclusively for Stage IV patients and their families, and will also to help sponsor a global web site designed to support Stage IV resources.
