Brandy Corby is a business owner and hairdresser at Tranz4mationz Salon in Jeffersonville. Helping others feel beautiful from the inside out is a huge passion for her & getting to do that in her career is something she takes pride in. She also enjoys working out, visiting new restaurants around town, especially those that allow her lab puppies to join the fun, & listening to any local live music she can find. She has been married for 26 years to the love of her life, Russ Corby. They have two children, Haley (25) & Cole (21) & four furbabies (Roxy, Koda, Jax & Ally). She spends the vast majority of her time with her family & makes them participate in what she has coined “Corby Family Fun Time,” which consists of anything from game night to spending a weekend out of town. Family is everything to her, which leads to her reason “why” for supporting this incredible cause. Her brother, Kris, was in recovery programs that helped get him where he is today. He has grown into a successful business man & father & he makes her proud each & every day. She could not be more grateful for recovery homes like The BreakAway & looks forward to being able to offer support in any way possible.

Janis barnett
Amount Raised $18545
My name is Janis Barnett. I grew up in Jeffersonville, and I graduated Jeffersonville High School in 1983 with honors. I attended the University of Louisville and where I was a University of Louisville LadyBird. I have two children, six grandchildren and another on the way. I am a widow of 22 years of marriage and my husband Mr. Floyd Barnett passed in 2012 due to this disease of addiction.
I am currently the Program Director for The BreakAway. I've been in recovery since 11/12/2007 and am an alumna of The Healing Place for Women. After graduating The Healing Place, I was given the opportunity to become a certified Recovery Dynamics facilitator which is the evidence-based program currently being used at The BreakAway. The Healing Place put me in a position to help open Brighton Recovery Center for Women in Florence Kentucky and The Warm Recovery Center for Women in Hazard County, KY.
I am an active member of Wesley United Methodist Church. I have served my community in several ways including bringing the Fresh Stop Market to Jeffersonville, serving on the Board of Directors for the Center for Lay Ministries, sitting on the Bliss House Committee. My past employment allowed me to work as a Crisis Response Consultant in Recovery; an Employment Consultant for people with special needs mentally and physically; a Social Security Certified Benefits Liaison; AIG Warranty Regional Coordinator; Administrative Assistant for Bliss House; Administrative Assistant for Wesley UMC; and Office Manager for LK Construction. The many roles I have played since I have been in recovery prepared me for my current position as the Program Director at the BreakAway, MY DREAM JOB! I’m excited about my newest challenge – dancing and fundraising to support the women of The BreakAway!
ron ramey
Amount Raised $4275
I am Native American (Cherokee) born and raised in Eastern Kentucky and I am 55 years old. I am a US Army Veteran who served our country from 1983 to 1986.I currently own a painting company, Artistic Touch.
My journey in recovery began in 1989, when I came to Louisville for treatment. My recovery has taken many roads over the years, but I am proud to say that I have been clean and sober for over 18 years. I have called New Albany home for 17 of those years.
My life is full with living today, I love my animals, fishing, riding my harley, cooking, canning, and attending concerts. I'm a mentor in Veterans Court in Floyd and Clark County, as well as doing workshops for both women and men on inner child issues.
I believe that even if I could help someone all day long every day for rest of my life , I still could never pay back all the help that has been so freely given to me through out my 31 years in my recovery.
**Disclaimer: I can't dance a lick. I have two left feet , but I sure can make a mean blackberry cobbler!!! Thank you for the opportunity to help others.

Amanda jones
Amount Raised $2750
Amanda is the owner and stylist at Totally Clips Pet Salon Clarksville. She loves making doggos feel fresh and fancy and probably loves her job more than the law should allow. She also enjoys adopting senior pets and mostly employs the method of asking for forgiveness instead of permission when bringing a new, old, pup home. She has been married to the absolute love of her life, Trevor or "Babe," for over 15 years and is the fiercest supporter of their two beautiful, intelligent, smelly, and disgusting boys. Aidan Patrick is 14 years old and is often referred to as her "Giant Beautiful Big Headed Baby" and/or "Aidan P. Monster." He just started his high school education and football career as a Charlestown Pirate. Arrrrrg! Addison Zavier, also known as "Smash," or "Smashy Pants," is 11 years old and in the 6th grade this year. He also plays football for the Charlestown Little Pirates. Little Arrrrrg!! Amanda's hobbies include watching murder shows, cheering on her dudes at their sporting events, THE KENTUCKY WILDCATS, and coming up with new and unusual ways to embarrass her children. She has most recently been running beta tests to see how effective it is to remind your children of how much that you love them by waiting until they exit your vehicle, rolling down the windows, and yelling that you love them so much that you squeezed them from your bathing suit area, preferably while in front of a group of their peers. Early test show promising results! Amanda will be celebrating 7 years of sobriety from opioids at the beginning of October. She chose to participate in this years program to support a place that helps women on their journey towards recovery. She is dancing to celebrate her own sobriety and the sobriety of all women at the Breakaway House. She is dancing for those still suffering. She is dancing for those that have lost their fight. She is dancing for you, Jessica. She is dancing for you Leah. She is dancing for you Tommi.
