While no stranger to the public eye, Mary Welch Fox Stasik is ecstatic to be taking the stage as a performer in this year’s American Lung Association’s Lip Sync for Lungs Live Battle VI on March 10th. This unique, action-packed event features four local celebrities, in a wildly entertaining setting that raises funds to provide lung health programs in South Carolina and lung disease research.

β€œIt has been many late nights and hard work but one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I could do this a million times! Several years ago, I lost a dear friend to complications from cystic fibrosis and last year, I lost my grandfather to COVID-19. Knowing that I’m helping to raise money to fund lung disease research, makes this experience even more worthwhile for me.”

Fox Stasik’s passion and enthusiasm shines throughout every aspect of her life. While family is Fox Stasik’s first priority, Fox Stasik also balances being host of HGTV’s show β€˜Breaking Bland’ and managing her local full-service interior design business. Fox Stasik’s design philosophy focuses on β€œhelping people make design choices that trigger their senses and turn a space into something they love,” shares Fox Stasik.
