From her early childhood days of being a caretaker for a mother battling severe mental illness who attempted suicide on two occasions, Anastasia Zuccaro understood how important access to healthcare and social services are to a community.  A deep passion and commitment to helping and addressing the challenges faced by those dealing with the impact of suicide, led Anastasia to become part of Suicide Prevention Alliance of Pennsylvania where she was elected to its board in 2020.

Anastasia serves as Vice President for Membership and Special Projects of the Friends of Einstein, building strong trustworthy relationships with donors and community partners, enabling their continued support for programs and funding.  Anastasia has been a strong advocate for the Einstein Pride Clinic, lobbying city and state officials on the importance of inclusion for all communities.

Introduced to the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus (PGMC) five years ago, Anastasia committed to supporting events and spreading the word of PGMC’s outreach efforts. In 2019 she joined the PGMC Board and now serves as President. In this role, Anastasia has focused on expanding Outreach opportunities and diversifying revenue sources to provide financial security.  Leading the most diverse PGMC board in history, Anastasia has joined her colleagues in pressing for DEI being the primary focus of PGMC.

Anastasia resides in Shamong Township, Burlington County, New Jersey with her husband, Bill Ryan. She is the proud mom of daughters Gabriella Petrosino and Taylor Mistretta.
