Katherine Sutton
Founder and Executive Director, Mississippi Heroes
In the dynamic world of real estate and nonprofit advocacy, Katherine Sutton stands out as a remarkable example of how dedication and compassion
can drive positive change. As the Founder and Executive Director of Mississippi Heroes,
as well as a successful Realtor with Weichert REALTORS Gulf Properties, Sutton seamlessly blends her passion for community service with her professional acumen.
Her professional journey is a testament to the power of leveraging one’s skills for broader societal impact. As a Realtor with Weichert REALTORS Gulf Properties, Sutton is renowned for her expertise in navigating the real estate market.
However, Sutton’s influence extends far beyond the realm of
real estate. In 2020, she founded Mississippi Heroes, a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating and supporting family, professional, and community caregivers. In addition, Mississippi Heroes started the Ramp It Up program in 2023, and to date they have installed or built over 30 wheelchair ramps helping people
get in and out of their homes safely. This initiative reflects Sutton’s commitment to addressing pressing community needs and providing tangible support to those who often work behind the scenes.
As she continues to bridge these two important aspects of her career, Sutton not only enriches the lives of those she directly serves but also inspires others to follow in her footsteps.
