LuAnn DeanPresident & Founder

LuAnn is the President and Founder of PS Charities. She is the wife of a retired Marine Officer, and a proud breast cancer survivor. Along with PS Charities, she is the President of Professional Solutions (ProSol) a defense contracting company based out of Alexandria, Virginia.

The personal experiences she had while undergoing her chemotherapy treatments is one of the driving forces behind her decision to found PS Charities, and focus on the patients rather than the research. The typical financial expenses do not stop occurring when you have cancer; instead they pile up under the medical bills. LuAnn is adamant about making sure the money this organization raises goes straight to the patients to assist their financial needs.

After spending 21 years as a Marine Corps wife, she had first-hand experience with the cultural support that comes from a life within the military community.  Through PS Charities, she hopes to continue to serve those that serve us by providing support to military members and their families.

As the President and Founder of PS Charities, it is her goal to work hand in hand with other charitable organizations to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by cancer and to provide support to our Nations military and their families.
