"Had the pleasure of attending the Jessie Banks Foundation Gala last week, where students were honored with well-deserved scholarships. In a time when funding for our youth continues to disappear, it was truly meaningful to stand with the Foundation and support the legacy they're carrying forward. A highlight of the evening was meeting our gracious hostess, Sharon, who so beautifully carries her family's legacy, and having the chance to connect with the legendary Leigh Steinberg. Grateful to have been surrounded by so many like-minded individuals committed to uplifting the next generation. A truly inspiring night. ✨💛"
