CALLED to Serve
Outside of her role as vice president of Schumacher Automotive Group—where she works alongside her husband, Charles—Amanda Schumacher is CEO and founder of the Tree of Life Foundation International and Tree of Life Resource Center. Originally from Japan, Schumacher now resides in the historic Palm Beach estate Vita Serena and also has a home at Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana. Schumacher supports a wide variety of local charities, but beyond her many philanthropic involvements—including serving on the boards of the Palm Beach Island Hospice Foundation, Palm Beach Republican Club, and Oxbridge Academy— she most cherishes her role as wife, mother to five children, and pet-mom to two dogs, Sandy and Sable. —Skye Sherman
