Today, we get to meet Lindsay Bevevino, volunteer coordinator and strategic communications director for Hospice of Warren County.

For lifelong Warren resident Lindsay Bevevino, service to others is not just part of her job–it’s a way of life.

Born and raised in Warren, Lindsay left her hometown for nearly a decade, first attending Mercyhurst University in Erie, and later building a life in Pittsburgh. But her roots and love for family drew her home again.

“My husband Joe, also a Warren native, moved to Pittsburgh around the same time, and we began dating soon after,” Lindsay shared. “After getting married, we decided to come back to Warren to be closer to family as we began our own family. We now have two sons, Graham (7) and Elliott (4).”

Today, Lindsay works at Hospice of Warren County, where she has worn many hats since joining the organization in 2021. She began as Volunteer Coordinator, and in early 2024 expanded her role to include Strategic Communications and Fundraising.

“Working for a nonprofit means you do a little bit of everything,” she said. “In my volunteer coordinator role, I manage a group of incredibly dedicated hospice volunteers. I facilitate their training and match them with patients at our Hospice Residence, in their homes, nursing facilities–wherever care is needed.”

In her communications and fundraising role, Lindsay handles social media, website management, radio and print outreach, provider communication, fundraising campaigns, and community events. Most recently, she successfully launched Hospice’s first-ever fundraiser, Warren County Wonders, with support from her devoted team of volunteers and coworkers.

“I love this work,” she said. “It’s hard to explain how fulfilling it is to be part of something that makes such a difference for families at their most vulnerable time.”

One of Lindsay’s most powerful roles, however, is as a mother and advocate. Her youngest son, Elliott, was diagnosed at just six months old with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2), a rare and devastating genetic condition that causes tumors to form on nerves throughout the body.

Since his diagnosis in 2021, Lindsay and her family have raised nearly $60,000 for NF2 research in Elliott’s honor. Their efforts began in November 2022 with a community-supported dinner and basket raffle and continued this year through a partnership with Wicked Warren’s for the second annual Freedom Fundraiser 5K and Kids Dash on July 5. All proceeds benefit NF2 BioSolutions, a nonprofit working to find a cure.

Lindsay now serves as a board member for NF2 BioSolutions, bringing awareness, funding, and hope not only for Elliott but for every family impacted by this rare disease.

“I am committed to being part of the fight for a cure,” she said. “Elliott’s strength inspires me every day.”

Beyond her work with Hospice and NF2 advocacy, Lindsay remains deeply involved in the community. She serves on the Board of Directors for both the Jefferson DeFrees Family Center and the Warren County Children’s Museum. She also works closely with local volunteers and caregivers through Hospice and engages in community-wide events and fundraisers.

“I like to think I’m involved in a meaningful way,” Lindsay shared. “I’ve been blessed to work alongside people who’ve become like family.”

When asked about her biggest milestones, Lindsay doesn’t hesitate.

“My children. They are my reason for everything. I am proud of Graham for his kind and loving spirit and of Elliott for his strength and tenacity while facing many trials. I hope to leave a legacy they can be proud of by trying to leave the world–and our community–a little better than I found it,” she said.

In her downtime, Lindsay finds joy in the simple things: movie nights, reading together as a family, and spontaneous adventures with her husband and sons.

“We just love to be together–it doesn’t matter what we do,” she said.

As she reflects on the life she’s built and the work she does, Lindsay remains grounded in gratitude.

“I love Warren and feel very blessed to have been born here,” she said. “This community has shown up for my family in ways I could never have imagined. Through my work with Hospice, I am reminded every day just how wonderful the people of this community are. I’m proud to raise my family here and hope that I can repay what I’ve received someday.”
