Alexis Spanos Ruhl has seen first-hand the importance of personal community engagement, whether it be by watching her parent's life-long commitment to philanthropy or through her own charitable endeavors over the past several decades.
As a Board Member for A.G. Spanos Companies, Alexis has taken her passion for service, evolved it into a vital role within the family business and now acts as the primary liaison between the company and the numerous non-profits currently supported by the organization.
Committed to continuing her parent's philanthropic legacy via all avenues, Alexis also plays an active role in shaping the direction and focus of the Los Angeles Chargers Impact Fund. A charitable arm of the Chargers created by her father, Alex, in 1995, the Impact Fund expands upon the team's Community Relations Department work with four key "impact" areas – Youth Empowerment, Supporting Families, Emergency Response and Animal Welfare, the latter of which Alexis has parlayed into a huge personal advocacy effort throughout the state of California.
In Los Angeles, Alexis is leading the Impact Fund's efforts to renovate animal shelters, support service dog training and create additional pet adoption opportunities. Up North, the San Francisco SPCA's Heart of Gold Society has recognized Alexis for her outstanding leadership in fundraising while she has twice been awarded the "Golden Paw Award" by The Cool Cats and Barking Dogs for her outstanding fundraising efforts on behalf of the Stockton Animal Shelter. Additionally, Alexis has also been recognized by the City of Stockton for her annual efforts to raise critical dollars to benefit Stockton's animal services.
