Marnie finds inspiration from her family.  Her grandfather, Leonard Tose, who was the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles and also founded the Ronald McDonald House. Also, Marnie’s Mom, Susan Tose Spencer, was the first female GM of an NFL team. She was also their legal counsel and VP. Their dedication to family, charity, and sports taught Marnie the importance of giving back, something she has carried forward into her career in the nonprofit sector. She has received honors for her time and attention spent raising money for the Ronald McDonald House, Alzheimer’s Association and animal rescue groups. To this day she remains very active with the Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte and is on their board.  

Gameday

Marnie’s passion for sports shines through in her book series, Gameday in the USA (Gameday). The series is in the Top 100 Kids Sports Travel books by Amazon. Writing the stories has been her way of giving back to the many great football communities across the nation. The series includes 8 books that focus on a city and its football team.  It follows lovable characters, Football Freddie and Fumble the Dog, and the rich history and culture of each city they visit. 

Marnie travels all over the country doing book readings at schools, youth sports clubs and businesses.  

Family
