She is a trusted voice in television news and leads Local 10’s Weather Authority team with grace, professionalism and distinction. She’s our very own Chief Certified Meteorologist, Betty Davis.
But beyond the lights and cameras, Davis is also a steady shoulder for those navigating the toughest storms of life.
From now through May 15, she’s standing in the gap for people battling blood cancer. Davis is participating in the Visionaries of the Year fundraising campaign for Blood Cancer United, formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). It is the largest nonprofit dedicated to creating a world without blood cancers.
“Accepting the nomination to be part of this campaign was not a swift decision,” shared Davis. “I thought about how various forms of cancer have impacted my loved ones. My father beat bladder cancer. My sister’s mother-in-law succumbed to Acute Myeloid Leukemia.”
Davis took time to research and engage in intimate “chats with God,” as she described it, before committing to the campaign. Two weeks after she confirmed her participation, Davis learned that another family member had received a cancer diagnosis.
“I took this devastating news as a divine sign that this fundraising campaign for Blood Cancer United is absolutely worthy of my attention,” said Davis.
Davis will be fundraising for research to advance lifesaving treatments, drive advocacy policies that protect patient access to treatments and provide patients and families with guidance, education and support.

“This is an organization making an impact with the dollars it raises, and I am proud to assist,” added Davis. “I hope you join me.”
