Meet Donna
Donna Bollinger is a powerhouse speaker with a compelling and relevant message for our youth.
As a former Ocean Rescue Lifeguard and Basic Life Support Instructor, she takes her real-life experiences on the beach and transforms them into dynamic life lessons.
She is a natural on the stage, thanks to her many opportunities to inspire audiences with words, stories, and songs. From catchy raps that teach to performing the National Anthem, Donna is a true entertainer. Several Central Florida athletic events partnered with her as she acted as announcer and emcee.
Her passion for equipping young people as they navigate the strong currents of life is unmatched. And her joy in being a Mom to four amazing kids fuels her daily.
