Who We Are

The Board of Directors, Members, and all of the other volunteers of Hailey’s Hope Foundation share their diversity, expertise and passion to create a unique support system for NICU families at a great time of need.

Board of Directors

JEFFREY RANDAZZO

President and Founder

Jeffrey Randazzo is the Branch President of Sharp Business Systems of New York and New Jersey. Prior to joining Sharp Business Systems in 2010, Jeffrey was a Global Account Manager for Sharp Electronics Corporation for seven years. He earned his BA from SUNY Binghamton, where he met five friends who would later join him in launching Hailey’s Hope Foundation.

Jeffrey founded Hailey’s Hope Foundation in 2007 and has served as the organization’s President from 2007 to present. His and his wife, Debra’s experience with premature births and NICU hospitalizations, including his sons (Matthew at 28 weeks, Jeffrey at 38 weeks, and Dylan at 33 weeks), his nieces and nephews, and the loss of his niece, Hailey, motivated him to fill a void in support for families suffering through the NICU. “I felt this was the best way to help others in their time of need and to honor Hailey’s memory.”

DONNA BEATO-ZION

Vice President

Donna Beato Zion is the Vice President of Hailey’s Hope Foundation and has served in this position from 2007 to present.  She also volunteers as a NICU Parent Mentor at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center.  Prior to starting her family, Donna was an associate at the law firm of Silverberg, Stonehill & Goldsmith, P.C. from 1996 to 2003.  She received her JD from Brooklyn Law School and her BA from SUNY Binghamton.

Donna is involved in all aspects of running the organization, including interacting with NICU families, developing and implementing programs, marketing, fundraising, and raising awareness of Hailey’s Hope Foundation. Donna is the mother of Hailey, in whose memory the Foundation was established. Her passion for helping NICU families and their babies grew out of her personal experience with loss as well as the premature births of her daughter, Alence (30 weeks), and two sons, Jake and Kaden (32 and 34 weeks). “There is no better gift to honor Hailey’s memory and celebrate my three NICU graduates than to be there for other NICU families and help them down this difficult, life-altering path.”

DEBRA RANDAZZO

Treasurer

Debra Randazzo is the Treasurer of Hailey’s Hope Foundation and has served in this position from 2007 to the present.  Debra also currently serves as the President of Goshen Soccer Club, a personal soccer trainer, and a NICU Parent Mentor at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center. Prior to starting a family in 2001, Debra was an elementary school teacher at Northport School District for five years where she taught first and second grade. She received her M. Ed. from Dowling College and her BA from SUNY Binghamton.

Debra is instrumental in managing the organization’s finances and programs. She is also actively involved in developing and implementing initiatives, interacting with NICU families, and fundraising. Her commitment to helping NICU families comes from her personal experience with premature birth and NICU hospitalizations. Her sons, Matthew (28 weeks) and Dylan (33 weeks), were both born prematurely and spent 3 months in the NICU. “After our NICU crises and losing our niece Hailey, I didn’t want other NICU parents to feel alone in their journeys. God gave us these experiences to learn from and serve others.”

ANN SIEGEL

Ann Siegel is the Secretary of Hailey’s Hope Foundation and has held this position from 2007 to present.
