Superhero: Donalynne Schaffer

Donalynne inducted into Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude in January 2023 for her incomparable commitment to education people in Chicago about breast health. Through her role at Equal Hope and as a devoted community leader, Dona provides education to people truly where they are: on the bus, at a medical visit, during a health fair. She is bold and passionate about raising her voice so that people bring the matter of breast health to the top of their list of priorities. Grateful for Dona’s unyielding efforts and her willingness to connect with us all.

About the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude

“The plain fact is that the world does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” David Orr

I deeply admire those who "live well in their places." The ordinary and the unsung who offer to the world the very best parts of themselves without expectation. This is a beautiful expression of love in her calm, persistent, generous manner - offering a ripple of change in the world.

Inductees to the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude are caped in recognition of their contributions to a love-filled world.
