Sara Pekar is a volunteer staff member of Rock the Earth and contributes to the Fundraising Committee. Sara joined Rock the Earth after being turned on to the mission by a friend who learned about the organization at SummerCamp during the summer of 2005. From there she was thrilled when the opportunity arose to table a Gov't Mule show, where she worked one-on-one with Marc Ross, the Executive Director.

Sara has over 6 years nonprofit development experience and as held various positions in the field, including the Development Director for Big Brothers Big Sister, until March of 2006. Currently she works as an event/meeting planner and graphic designer for the American Bar Association, in Chicago, IL.
