Our Story
Laura’s warmth showed in the way she built community — through dancing, baking for others, caring for plants, and bringing people together in joyful and meaningful ways. These passions reflected her belief that connection and creativity have the power to comfort, uplift, and strengthen the people around us.
After losing Laura to breast cancer, the Fund was created as a way to honor her life while continuing the spirit of care and community she shared so naturally with others.
The Laura Vento Ivanov Fund celebrates Laura’s life by bringing people together through community, creativity, and movement while supporting individuals and families impacted by breast cancer.
The Laura Way
Laura believed in showing love through the small moments — a shared meal, a dance floor full of laughter, or caring for the people around her.
The Laura Vento Ivanov Fund carries that spirit forward by bringing people together through community, creativity, and meaningful support for individuals and families impacted by breast cancer.
Our Mission
The Laura Vento Ivanov Fund exists to honor Laura’s life of kindness, empathy, and connection as a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and loyal friend.
Guided by Laura’s passions — community, creativity through baking and plants, and dance and movement — the Fund creates accessible opportunities that bring people together, provide support during difficult seasons, and foster joy alongside healing.
Through thoughtfully designed events, partnerships, and initiatives, the LVI Fund turns remembrance into action, ensuring Laura’s spirit continues to inspire strength, compassion, and shared purpose while also raising awareness and support for individuals and families impacted by breast cancer.
