It's always difficult to find the words to describe the experience of Hope Shining Blue. To sum it up, this year's celebration of survivors was UPLIFTING. I'm honored to be a part of the work that the Aurora Health Care Foundation does for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

The Sixth Man Soiree for the Milwaukee Bucks Foundation presented by Fiserv was a slam dunk! The transformation of Fiserv Forum surprised guests, including NBA stars Bobby Portis, Damian Lillard, Pat Connaughton, Jae Crowder, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, and Brook Lopez. The signature event raised money for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center.
