Founded in 2023 by David Moore, the IMPACNOW Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to equipping medically challenged individuals with perseverance, hope, information and tools to take control of their life-changing conditions.
When a person is diagnosed with a serious illness, even the smallest of things can be overwhelming and a cause to lose sight of the fight to survive. This is why IMPACNOW exists. When a person with multiple sclerosis, cancer, diabetes or heart disease reaches out to us, we step into their life to help eliminate some of the smaller challenges that arise as a result of their affliction. These challenges include but are not limited to finances, medical equipment, therapy, counseling, referrals, and other physical and emotional needs.
Auzzene Dewberry serves as a Director on the Board for IMPAC Now.
Auzzene Dewberry was an Executive Administrator at Deloitte and Deloitte University. During her 46 years at Deloitte, she has had several opportunities including Director of Report Processing and Executive Administrator for the former CEO of Deloitte Consulting.

I have dedicated my entire adult life to the dental and health industry. In 2019, I took the leap to become an Health Insurance Broker and start my own successful business.
My passion for the arts ignited during my childhood, and I began painting and selling my work in 2008, specializing in abstract, expressionism, and abstract landscape.
I am also deeply passionate about marketing, and over the years, I have honed my skills, expanded my knowledge base, and implemented innovative strategies to reach a wider audience. As a result, I have assumed a leadership position, leading a team of agents to expand our agency.
