We are very excited to share our March Hero Highlight, Joyce Lombardi!

When Kasha and Mike founded the TANGO2 Research Foundation in 2018 to advance research for their son, Ryan, and others with TDD, Joyce became one of its strongest advocates and biggest donors. As Ryan’s aunt, she has always been his biggest fan—cheering him on at basketball games, track meets, and milestones.

Joyce brings creativity and passion to fundraising, organizing tag sales, wine pulls, and silent auctions at TANGO2 Banquets to make giving a fun family event. Behind the scenes, she dedicates countless volunteer hours, donates annually and secures matching donations from her employer, Travelers Insurance.

Joyce’s greatest wish is for Ryan to live a long, healthy life filled with joy—and she’s doing everything she can to make that a reality.
