Connie Cabrina is a former elementary school art teacher who graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City with a BFA in illustration. Passionate about art and philanthropy, she has worked to educate others on the importance of cancer research, funding, and prevention. After years of advocating, she herself was diagnosed with cancer when her daughter was an infant. This inspired her to write the keepsake children's book, "A Mommy's Promise". Cabrina also illustrated Evan F. Nappan's "The Declaration".
