Sandra Raffaelli – Founder and President at aZul For Better Living, Inc.
It’s determination. I don’t think it’s difficult, I think it takes time. It takes the courage to face what we don’t know.
Sandra Raffaelli is passionate about serving people with developmental disabilities and helping them live better, more fulfilling lives. After spending a good deal of time interacting with people with disabilities like down syndrome and autism, she discovered an opportunity to help disabled people of all ages figure out their role in society through expertly crafted training and development opportunities. For this reason, she founded aZul for Better Living, Inc. where she helps the disabled and their family members achieve their dreams through fashion design and art. Sandra’s charisma, creativity, and philanthropic nature give the company the energy and enthusiasm that is needed to help the disabled retain their dignity and develop financial independence. Sandra Raffaelli was named the 2019 Coors Light Líder of the Year and her award included a $25,000 grant to aZul for Better Living.
