Miss A Columnist

Amanda Ivarra is a graduate of Texas A&M University. After graduating with a degree in Health, she moved to Austin and started working for a national non-profit organization. She spent 5 years coordinating community events and programs. After leaving the organization, she started to focus on her creative pursuits. Currently, she is working on developing her own jewelry line. Writing has always been a hobby for Amanda. For most of her life, she’s kept journals. It wasn’t until recently that she decided to take her writing public and began blogging and guest blogging. The one thing this girl can’t live without is music. Not really one to sing or play an instrument, she just loves music. Perhaps, it’s the songwriting that she admires so much or a good beat that she can dance to. Whether she’s attending a concert with friends, hanging out with the guys watching sports, volunteering in the community, hiking or visiting the newest places in town, Amanda lives to enjoy life. But, nothing brings more joy to her than being able to make someone smile or laugh!

“Treatment is hard on the whole family,” says Without Regrets co-founder Ché Heinroth. “Without Regrets helps parents create memories away from the dark reality of hospital visits and diagnoses, to leave a positive impact on a child.” The nonprofit organization provides funding and makes whatever arrangements are necessary to facilitate those memories, from a family portrait to visiting a parent’s hometown. With the community’s support, Without Regrets hopes to give many more families opportunities to create positive memories that last forever.

The anniversary benefit concert will be emceed by 93.7 KLBJ-FM’s DJ B-DOE. He’ll be sharing some heartwarming stories from the Without Regrets Foundation and then giving away two pairs of three-day Austin City Limits Music Festival passes to two lucky concert goers!
