It was a privilege to speak at last week’s TeamMates Mentoring Conference! Topic: Transformational Fundraising – From Events to Impact. To support an organization founded by Coach Tom and Nancy Osborne, one that makes longitudinal changes in future pathways of young people is truly an honor.

Every hour these mentors, volunteers, advisory board members and staff invest, every relationship they build, and every young person they encourage leaves a lasting legacy!
