Sarah Lawton, MPH | Director of Development
—-
I am a development and public health leader committed to building partnerships that expand wellness, equity, and opportunity for communities. My career has centered on organizations that advance health, support families, and strengthen systems so people can thrive.
As Director of Development at V3 Sports, I help advance a mission rooted in movement, connection, and community impact. I work alongside partners who believe in elevating community through wellness, fitness, and education and who want to help create lasting, accessible opportunities in North Minneapolis. My approach reflects V3 Sports’s principles: get the little things right, stay adaptable, lead with integrity, and build sustainable impact through strong relationships.
Before joining V3 Sports, I held leadership roles across national health organizations, securing major gifts, strengthening volunteer leadership, and operationalizing systems that accelerated mission delivery. I have guided multimillion-dollar fundraising portfolios, stewarded high-impact donor networks, and led teams through growth, restructuring, and large-scale strategic initiatives.
I am energized by work that brings people together, amplifies possibility, and removes barriers so communities can thrive.
