She currently is on the board of directors of the Special Olympics Michigan. She’s also worked with Ronald McDonald House, Hospice of Michigan Foundation, and other community organizations.

Dunaway said: “I’m thrilled to take on this new challenge connecting Fox 17 with West Michigan communities, bringing people, organizations, and businesses together to make a difference where we live. I can’t wait to share the stories of the generous, selfless individuals in our area who are changing lives every day.”
