Borta has served as an honorary co-chair for both the Komen Dallas Race for the Cure and the Komen North Texas Plano Race for the Cure.

Borta and her husband, Jim, have three children, Jake, Katie and Kylie. She is a soccer mom and is actively involved at her children's school. She enjoys playing tennis and reading.
