The South Tampa resident handles all of the major\u00a0gift and community relations duties for the organization. Because of her great work and\u00a0the work of others like Tracie, The Spine Foundation identified a veteran who was\u00a0experiencing back and leg pain, got him properly diagnosed and funded a minimally\u00a0invasive spine surgery for him. He\u2019s now competing in triathlons pain-free. Tracie\u2019s\u00a0commitment to her cause is just one of many reasons she was chosen as a Leading Lady\u00a0for 2011.<\/p>\n<p>What is one of your favorite charity events in Tampa and why?<\/p>\n<p>The Spine Foundation&#8217;s Back-to-Back Ball. I was fortunate to be able to primarily design\u00a0the style of the event which was a combination of high-energy cocktail party, headline\u00a0entertainment and an incredible auction. Our inaugural event secured $1.25 million in pro\u00a0bono medical services to provide the world&#8217;s most scientifically advanced spine care to\u00a0those who need it most.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you most admire in Tampa?<\/p>\n<p>There are so many incredible people in this city, but I would have to say the ladies of the\u00a0Outback Bowl Hospitality Committee\u2014specifically: Betty Wood, Pat Daley, Barbara\u00a0Major and Nadine Hines. They have been making a difference in this city for decades\u00a0and have had a hand in the establishment and success of many of our most effective non-profits.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of charity work, what inspires you?<\/p>\n<p>As a member of Leadership Tampa 2012 I\u2019m getting to see how the entire community\u00a0is coming together to make Tampa Bay shine bright next August during the Republican\u00a0National Convention. The amount of teamwork and planning involved is truly inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019re entering the holiday season, what is one of your favorite memories\u00a0with your family?<\/p>\n<p>My family is awesome and I have a ton of favorite memories. The year we decided\u00a0to spend Thanksgiving at the Bellagio in Las Vegas eating at the buffet and playing\u00a0blackjack stands out as a great one. My family is pretty traditional and my mother is a\u00a0wonderful cook, so everything about that Thanksgiving was out of character for us.<\/p>\n<p>What are a couple of your cherished holiday traditions?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a big joke in my family that we don&#8217;t have any traditions and my Dad tries to invent\u00a0a new one every year, but in reality we have a ton of them. My favorite is playing board\u00a0games around the table after Christmas dinner with my loud, Italian family. We discuss\u00a0every year which family members would make the cut if we were ever contestants on the\u00a0Family Feud.<\/p>\n<p>What are your favorite kinds of gifts to give and receive?<\/p>\n<p>My favorite gifts to give are things that are fun and useful but that you wouldn&#8217;t buy for\u00a0yourself. My favorites to receive tend to have to do with different types of experiences or\u00a0places to visit. Though I would never turn down a great handbag or pair of shoes!<\/p>\n<p>What is your favorite hero of fiction?<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I would say Aibileen from Kathryn Stockett\u2019s The Help. She knew that\u00a0speaking out was the only way to effect positive social change.<\/p>\n<p>If you had one wish this holiday season, what would it be?<\/p>\n<p>To take the time to truly enjoy being with all the people I see during the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>What is your motto or words you live by?<\/p>\n<p>Well-behaved women rarely make history.<\/p>\n<p>Cava Cocktail<\/p>\n<p>(from The Junior League of Tampa&#8217;s Savor The Seasons)<\/p>\n<p>Yield: 29 (4-ounce) servings<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice<\/p>\n<p>1 cup brandy<\/p>\n<p>1 cup Triple Sec<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup Chambord<\/p>\n<p>4 cups ginger ale, chilled<\/p>\n<p>2 (750-milliliter) bottles cava*, chilled<\/p>\n<p>Instructions<\/p>\n<p>1.
