Marisa Bilkiss

Gala Chair

Being fascinated by and in love with people her whole life, it’s no surprise Marisa spends her time helping others! Marisa was raised in So. Cal. and found her way to Vegas 18 years ago after graduating from Arizona State University. She may not have been Vegas born, but has fallen for this special city and considers Vegas her true home while raising her family and immersing herself in our community. Marisa has held many charitable roles from The Justin Foundation, Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, The Ronald McDonald House, and The Positively Kids Foundation, to now being most passionate about youth education for her kids while raising funds and advocating for Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes Research to fund a Cure! Becoming a Realtor® and using her reach to help and touch others has been the icing on the cake for Marisa. As a Realtor®, hitting top performer lists, being involved in Leadership, and running a successful business further allows Marisa the platform to expand her natural pull to helping others and giving back.
