Claire Van Doren's resume includes fundraising, marathon training, community leadership, public speaking, and eight years of sneeze analytics.

Yes, really.

From age 22 to 30, Claire tracked every sneeze she sneezed in a spreadsheet, peaking in 2025 with 2,577 sneezes — an average of seven per day, for anyone keeping score (Claire definitely was).

Since returning to Columbia three years ago, Claire has become a familiar face across the city, serving with the Women's Network, EPIC, Downtown Rotary, and Heart of Missouri Girls on the Run, while also helping lead fundraising efforts and community partnerships that support local families through Love Columbia.
She's also a financial coach, a half-marathon finisher, a future marathoner, and a passionate advocate for bringing back one critical piece of community infrastructure: The indoor roller rink.

Congratulations, Claire, on being named one of CBT's 2026 20 Under 40 honorees!

Loving August ☀️Quick trip to COMO for Izzy’s birthday meant we got to see so many sweet people, hit up the farmers market, go antiquing, visit Claire’s new house, and get me on a bike for the first time in many years! #missouri #summer
