Lisa Reeves - Founder & President
Lisa Reeves is the visionary behind The Phoenixx Phoundation, Inc., which she founded after overcoming breast cancer in 2017. At the time, she was managing the responsibilities of having a child in college and two children at home. Inspired by the support she and her family received during her illness, Lisa felt a strong calling to give back. In the spring of 2021, with the help of her son Sidney and two close friends, Lisa launched The Phoenixx Phoundation, Inc. Her goal is to provide support, empowerment, and hope to others, just as she experienced during her own journey.
Under Lisa's leadership, The Phoenixx Phoundation has grown into a dynamic organization dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. The Phoundation offers a wide range of programs and initiatives designed to provide financial assistance, educational resources, and emotional support to those in need. Lisa’s personal experience with adversity fuels her passion for uplifting others, and her work through the Phoundation aims to inspire resilience, hope, and transformation in every life it touches.
By focusing on community-driven support and empowerment, Lisa Reeves and The Phoenixx Phoundation are committed to creating lasting positive change, ensuring that no one has to face their struggles alone.

Sidney I. Reeves - Treasurer
Treasurer. Sidney is one of our board members and a pivotal figure in everything that happens at The Phoenixx Phoundation. Sidney graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas College, where we started our grant program. Through his knowledge of fundraising best practices, social media content management, and business expertise, he brings financial acumen to The Phoenixx Phoundation. Sidney has been a board member since the founding of TPP Inc.
His story in relation to the creation of The Phoenixx Phoundation is profound. If it were not for his hard work and resilience, we would not have been so inspired to give back to students dealing with similar struggles to what he had to experience as a student as our Founder, Lisa Reeves, his mother, was dealing with breast cancer while he was in school. Along with some other major financial disablers with trust in God and faith in his mission to complete his studies a path towards success always finds it's way close to his heart. As Sidney walks in faith, he is always looking and working for more ways to help those in need.
