Alison Ogliore, Campaign Development Manager

A native Washingtonian, Alison can be found exploring the beaches around Puget Sound, camping with family and cheering on her alma mater, Washington State University. Alison has a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Business. As a triathlete and gymnastics coach, Alison found her career gravitated toward sports and community events with positions at the U.S. Olympic Committee in Colorado Springs and then closer to home at SEAFAIR. Her first introduction to development and peer-to-peer fundraising came with a role at the National MS Society where she developed a passion for connecting with donors and volunteers. After losing a family member to a blood cancer, Alison is honored to bring her experience, passion and dedication to LLS to improve the lives of those living with blood cancers and to find a cure.
