​

Alissa Glover is a wife, mother, former teacher, and dedicated childhood cancer advocate from Scottsdale, Arizona. After her daughter, Viviana, was faced with a cancer diagnosis at the age of 2, Alissa embraced a heartfelt mission to support other families navigating pediatric cancer while advocating for safer, more effective treatments.

 

As Mrs. Arizona, Alissa uses her platform to inspire hope, amplify the voices of children with cancer, and encourage others to get involved in their communities. She serves as an ambassador for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, raising awareness and critical research funds through community events, speaking engagements, and lemonade stands, and was honored with a Top Fundraiser Award in 2024. She is also actively involved with Blood Cancer United and Viviana will serve as the 2026 Visionaries of the Year Honored Hero. 

 

Inspired by their courageous daughter’s battle, Alissa and her husband, RK, founded Viviana’s Wings of Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to alleviating housing expenses for families facing a pediatric cancer diagnosis, ensuring families can focus on caring for their children without the added stress of housing costs.

 

Through her advocacy work, Alissa strives to empower families to find purpose, strength, and joy even through unimaginable adversity, demonstrating that hope, compassion, and action can make a lasting difference.
