Lorie Hargrave

Event Coordinator / Billing / Community Relations

Lorie Hargrave (mother to Hal Jr) has been a philanthropist, founding member and board member of Be Perfect since the inception of the foundation in 2007. As the head of billing and community relations, Lorie is truthfully the first person to reach and touch each person and family that Be Perfect is able to support.

Lorie wears many hats and often times serves as a mental health support network for many individuals suffering from paralysis, their families, and namely other moms who need somebody to talk to. Lorie has started and orchestrates support groups among mothers who have sons and daughters living with paralysis. Lorie truthfully has a way of meeting many people in their place and being an advocate for them to help them get what they need in terms of financial support or working with insurance companies or lawyers to provide support to clients. Additionally, much of Lorie's time is spent meeting new clients at the hospital or at local rehabilitation facilities, to provide them with support, guidance, and help.

Unfortunately, Lorie also manages the daunting task of billing. It is one of those things where "somebody has to do it” and Lorie, being the person that she is, simply finds a way to get the job done even with many other things going on around her. With this bulldog mentality, Lorie has been a great advocate in the community for Be Perfect. She often times networks with local organizations, businesses, and donors. She spends much of her waking time developing relationships and collecting auction items for Be Perfect’s annual fundraiser.

Lorie is a mother to four children (Hal Jr 29, Corey 26, Hailey 21, Bella 14) and spends a lot of for time away from the office inside the volleyball gym, carting around kids, or playing host to many events, parties, or high school kids (who are friends of her youngest daughter Bella) at the Hargrave household.

Lorie was greatly affected by her son, Hal Junior's, accident in 2007. However, she has found great purpose and meaning in serving others ever since. She has made it her lifelong mission to help others in any way possible.

Lorie truthfully has that mothering instincts about her as she seems to always put everybody else before herself, naturally her kids included. Many times Lorie will find herself in over her head with many tasks to do, tasks that she is completing for other people. However, when Lorie is able to find time for herself you might find her at Laguna Beach or sitting on the boat out in Lake Havasu.
