An accomplished business executive with over three decades of experience, Becky Catino cofounded Security National Automotive Acceptance Corporation in 1986 and served as the company’s president until 2011. Currently, Becky Catino dedicates her time and resources to several nonprofit organizations, including St. Vincent de Paul of Cincinnati, where she chairs the board of directors.

In its efforts to provide emotional, spiritual, and material assistance to local community members in need, St. Vincent de Paul of Cincinnati oversees a variety of programs and events throughout the year. Recently, the organization wrapped up its 5 Cares Coat Drive, which runs annually from October 21 through December 9.

The event provides gently used coats to individuals throughout Cincinnati and gives donors the opportunity to assist their less fortunate neighbors. This year, during the 2015 drive, donors could also take part in a social media campaign that raised awareness of the event and gave them the chance to win prizes from local sponsor Gold Star Chili.
