Fundraising Goal: $10,000
ABOUT ME
My name is Javan Greeson, and I’m blessed to serve Franciscan Alliance as Executive Director of the Foundation in Western Indiana. Every day, I have the opportunity to work alongside generous donors, community leaders, and dedicated healthcare professionals to advance community health initiatives, provide charitable patient care, and support the caregivers who make a difference in countless lives.
My wife, Denae, and I have been married for 20 years and are proud parents of two amazing children, Cole and Liberty, who attend Faith Christian Schools. My journey has included serving five years in the U.S. Air Force as a Navigator, working in the Foundation at Purdue University, and helping on our family farm. Each experience has strengthened my passion for service, leadership, and giving back to others.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me playing pickleball with Denae, cycling through the Indiana countryside, or spending time with my family!
I am dancing because… I want to honor the service that the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration have performed for our community over the past 150 years! Also, I want to try something new and a bit scary!!
Support My Stars & Steps Journey
This year, I’m honored to participate in Stars & Steps: Lafayette’s Dance Spectacular, a special event celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Franciscan Health while raising funds to improve the health and well-being of our community. The event honors the extraordinary legacy of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration, whose vision, compassion, and commitment to serving others led to the founding of the ministry that became Franciscan Health 150 years ago. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re also investing in the future through Franciscan Health’s Community Health Improvement initiatives, which provide critical programs that support families, promote wellness, improve health access, and strengthen lives across Greater Lafayette and Western Indiana. Thank you for helping me celebrate this legacy of service while making a lasting impact in our community.
Every donation helps support Franciscan Health’s Community Health Improvement programs, including:
✅ Support for new mothers and babies
✅ Nutrition education and healthy food access
✅ Child safety initiatives and car seat programs
✅ CPR, AED, and emergency preparedness training
✅ Community wellness and prevention programs
These initiatives continue the mission of caring and service established by the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration more than 150 years ago.
