Meet the FIST Guides

FIST is the foundation's youth philanthropy program. Since 1996 this program has worked to inspire our community's young people to give their time, talent, and treasure. These passionate young leaders are guided by a school staff member in their respective school system. This year, FIST is pleased to work with the following great mentors. While they duck out of every possible photo opportunity, we are grateful for their dedication. Thank you Amanda, Sue, and Eric for helping FIST youth succeed!

Amanda Lawson

Ms. Lawson teaches 7th grade social studies and high school level Spanish at Hamilton K-12. She coaches Track & Cross Country while also leading the Spanish Club. Outside of school, she likes to practice yoga, rock climb, run, read, and all things that are active. Her favorite part of FIST is watching the members get involved in the community because they genuinely care and do it out of the kindness of their hearts.

Sue Simmons

Mrs. Simmons teaches 9th through 12th grade Business & Career Tech Ed at Angola High School. She is also the Department Chair and is a member of the Faculty Advisor Committee. Outside of school she helps run her family business and enjoys traveling.
