Chance Encounters

Scott was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. He graduated from Furman University in 1996 where he studied Business Administration. Scott is currently the Director of Analysis and Medicaid Operations for BlueChoice HealthPlan, where he has worked for the last 10 years.

Scott is married to Lexanne Graves, who currently works part-time as the Director of Christian Education at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. She devotes the remainder of her time to raising their daughter, Anna Leigh Graves.

When asked why he wanted to become involved with Children's Chance, Scott stated, "I am excited for this opportunity to devote my time and efforts to helping families cope with the challenges associated with pediatric cancer. As a father, I am committed to this organization and its mission."

Thank you to all of the Children's Chance Board of Directors

for your continued support of families facing pediatric cancer!
