Samantha is just a puppy loving nerdy girl who can’t help but yell “DOG!” every time she sees one.  She absolutely loves playing games (video and board) with her boyfriend Adam, taking their puppy Ginny to the dog park, and working on her scrapbook.

Samantha has always been one to support her loved ones which is how she discovered Cupid’s.  First by donating to her cousin, Shawn, who has been involved with the charity for years, then working with her to form the team “No, Pants, No Problem” when her career brought her home to Chicago in 2018. 

With a passion for themed parties, helping people, and a dislike of having to wear pants, it seems as though Cupid’s and Samantha were meant to be.  It only took that one time meeting the families and seeing the community that Cupid’s had created to make her want to come back.  By year three, she was applying to be a Race Director too!  She is excited about this new adventure and opportunity to help those afflicted with NF.  Samantha says, “Always remember to be kind to each other and take your pants off for Charity!”
