Board of directors
PRESIDENT/FOUNDER SEAN REAVIE
In 2015, Sean created “Superhero September” (SHS) as a way to empower children victims of acute abuse by introducing them to superhero mythology. A police officer since 2007, Sean has investigated crimes against children for six years. A two-time State of Arizona Police Officer of The Year and Two-time winner of his department’s Distinguished Service Award, Sean incorporated his highly successful series of superhero events into a non profit corporation to better serve child victims in Arizona. Sean holds a Master’s Degree in Leadership from Northern Arizona University (With Distinction/4.0 GPA) and is a tireless advocate for abused kids. Sean recently reached his goal of expanding his charity into his home state of Michigan with three events planned on September 7, 2019. Sean and his wife Melissa live in North Phoenix with their three chihuahuas and French Bulldog.
FOUNDING BOARD MEMBER SECRETARY DANIELLE GILMORE
A 2016 graduate of Arizona State University, Danielle earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science finishing with a 3.87 GPA. Danielle put her Certified Nonprofit Professional Credential to work when hired by the Childhelp Children’s Center as Volunteer & Donor Care Coordinator.

Upon creation of the Foundation, she quickly accepted Sean’s offer to serve on the board of directors as Secretary/Treasurer heading the Financial Committee.

LEGAL COUNSEL K ROYAL
K Royal is an attorney and global compliance professional with 25 years of experience in the legal and health-related fields and is currently working in global privacy. Back in 2000, K was an RN and about to enter law school, when her husband (at the time) had a psychotic break. A local agency helped her and her children through this trauma and asked one thing in return – help other victims. K took the challenge seriously. Starting in law school, she was the first volunteer of a U.S. Department of Justice pilot program for victims – which has now become a national standard in criminal cases. She typically volunteers over 1,000 hours annually - both in her role as an attorney and hands-on, such as putting on a cape for children in need.
