DONNA BAXTER – Vice President

Donna Baxter resides in Fort Lupton, CO.  She attended University of Texas at El Paso on a full scholarship for managing the UTEP Miners Football Team and majoring in communications.  Donna is currently working in Fort Lupton and looking forward to going back to school to become a veterinary technician.  In her spare time she loves to ride, train and show her horses in the discipline of Dressage.

In 2003 Donna founded Dressage For The Cure in honor of her best friend, Renee Coble, who had been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.  The proceeds were to go to a charity of Renee’s choosing, but after careful consideration it was decided that there was a need for a different type of charity and Renee's Friends Fund was born.  Donna states “I am proud to be a part of something much greater than myself and that can help the women of Colorado”!
