Stacey Levy,
President / Founder

Stacey Levy is a Certified Social Worker having earned her undergraduate degree from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and her Masters from Columbia University in New York City.

Stacey brings with her a wealth of experience derived from her work with a number of diverse special needs populations served within the following organizations, between 1984-1991: The Fairfax (Va.) County Court Boys Probation House; Creedmoor State Psychiatric Hospital; The Queensboro Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children; Catholic Charities of New York; Transitional Services for New York, Inc. - A Supportive Apartment Program for the Mentally Ill; and she last occupied the position of Assistant Director of Hope House II, a community residence for dually diagnosed (developmentally disabled/mentally ill) young adults, in which she was responsible for the day to day operations, staffing issues and clinical coordination of the program.

Stacey and her husband Brian married in 1988 and had their first child, Ellie, in 1991. Ellie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth. As the Founder and driving force behind The Reach for the Stars Foundation, Stacey Levy's unbounded commitment to helping children and young adults afflicted with cystic fibrosis comes from a deeply personal place.

Since only three months after Ellie's birth, Stacey has been a tireless volunteer fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis cause. She was responsible for the development and maintenance of a multitude of events since 1991. Stacey has helped to raise significant funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and was awarded the "Outstanding Volunteer Leadership Award" by the CF Foundation at their National Conference in May of 2001. In 2003 Stacey received the "Woman of Achievement Award" from the Junior League of Long Island (NY). Stacey is currently a member of the Executive Board at Miami Country Day School.

All the while, Stacey has continued to help others through her determined volunteer and fundraising work for several other charitable organizations, as well as continuing her ongoing involvement with her family's own personal philanthropic endeavors.

In addition to her extensive fundraising experience, Stacey Levy brings both superior leadership and her depth of vision to The Reach for the Stars Foundation. As the mother of a child afflicted with this insidious disease, she has developed the insight and sensitivity critical to understanding how and where to battle cystic fibrosis most effectively. The many contacts and resources she has developed over the years will prove to be invaluable in launching this newly formed foundation.

The passion to help others that has consistently characterized Stacey Levy, long before she had ever even heard of the disease that would change her life profoundly, will prove the greatest of assets as The Reach for the Stars Foundation works to "bridge the gap" between the diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis and the search for a cure.

Jeffery Klein,
Vice President

Since graduating from Indiana University in 1994, where he received a BS in Exercise Science / Kinesiology, Jeffrey was an Owner / Operator of the Entourage Sports Cafe in New York City. He also held a senior management position with C3 Restaurant at the Washington Square Hotel.

Jeffrey joined Loews Hotels in 1999, where he managed the Restaurant and Room Service at the Loews NY Hotel. He then transferred to the Loews Miami Beach property where he has held the positions of Restaurant Manager, Director of Guest Services, Hotel Banquet Manager and is now currently the Director of Food & Beverage.

How he became involved with the RFTSF:
I became involved with the Foundation primarily as a result of my relationship with the Levy family. I have known Brian Levy since I was 5 years old when he was a counselor at my Summer Camp. We kept in touch through the years and my wife Aviva and I have now become close friends with Brian and Stacey. Getting to know and love their daughter Ellie (who is afflicted with CF) has inspired me to get involved with the RFTSF so that I can help make a difference - today - in the quality of life for Ellie and other CF patients.

Jay Fiedler, Director
Chairman - Founder's Council

Miami Dolphins Quarterback Jay Fiedler is entering his fifth year with the Miami Dolphins and is a founding Board Member of the Reach for the Stars Foundation. His commitment to raising money and awareness for the Foundation is unparalleled. It is a reflection of the unrelenting desire he showed to become a highly successful quarterback in the NFL.

After going undrafted in the 1994 NFL Entry Draft, Jay signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. In 1996 Jay played for the Amsterdam Admirals of the NFL Europe League. Out of football in 1997, he accepted a position as an assistant coach with Hofstra University. In 1998 Jay made his return to the NFL as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. The following season Jay got his first regular season "game action" as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, including a 2 touchdown passing performance in the playoffs against the Miami Dolphins.

His record as a starting quarterback is 36-17, including a 35-17 record with the Dolphins and a 1-0 mark with Jacksonville (1999). Of current NFL quarterbacks with at least twenty starts to their credit in their careers, Fiedler's winning percentage of .679 is the third-best in the league. In addition, his 36-17 record after 53 games as a starter is the best record after 53 career games started among active quarterbacks.

How he became involved in the RFTSF:
I have known Brian for practically my entire life and when his daughter was born and diagnosed with this terminal disease, I felt that I needed to help him and his family in any possible manner. This Foundation has great things planned and I look forward to being a very active participant.
