Our Story
RAS is the inspiration of Sara Eastwood who has spent 25 years of her life working with both charities and business trade associations.
As a mom of three busy boys, Sara spent thousands of hours volunteering on school boards, sports programs and fundraisers. At a very early age, Sara exposed her children to community service by hosting families in need during holiday time through the United Way. And, every Wednesday night without fail she and her kids Ryan, Alec and Spencer (hence the name RAS) served 400 meals to the homeless at the Rescue Mission.

Spencer Mclean
Events & MARKETING
Spencer graduated in May 2025 with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Sales certification. He grew up around events—practically under his mother Sara’s desk—so planning, timelines, and people-centric details have always been part of his world. Over the years, that exposure turned into a real passion, and it truly clicked when I served as my fraternity’s Social Chair, leading event planning and execution from start to finish. Today, I bring that same energy and discipline into my work as a Director of Events & Marketing, continuing to sharpen my craft and create experiences that are both well-run and memorable.

Her goal is to keep growing her skills in administration, marketing, and business strategy, developing into a versatile professional.
