Ms. Heuvel is also the co-founder of an organization called the 100 Women of McKinney. We all have a special talent and hers is throwing a party, so she decided to combine that with her passion for philanthropic activities and the 100 Women of McKinney was born. The concept is simple, they throw a party twice a year and invite anyone in the area that is interested. They also invite three local non-profits to give a short presentation to the group. Each guest is asked to bring $100 to the event which will be donated to the non-profit that receives the most votes at the end of the night. $100 x 100 women = $10,000 donation.
Ms. Heuvel is married to Doug Heuvel and they have 4 kids, 3 dogs and 3 chickens. Her husband calls himself an urban farmer. Ms. Heuvel got her BBA in finance from Texas Tech and her JD from The University of Alabama.
