Executive Director
Bev Pomering
Bev Pomering founded the Live R.E.A.L. Foundation in 2020 after her oldest son, Alex died from fentanyl Aug 28, 2019. Bev is a life-long resident of Winnebago County, Illinois and has been married to her husband Terry for over 25 years. Together they raised their sons, Alex (forever 20) and Jason.
Bev works full-time as a secretary of a local elementary school. When not at work, getting her CRSS certification or busy with the charity you can find her getting dirty in the many flower beds that adorn her yard, crafting in her basement, relaxing by her fish pond or living the couch potato life watching mindless television.
