Usually I kick off my new seasons in August, but there's a lot going on this summer and I just couldn't wait. So, much like Christmas in July, you get an early present. This week, Emily Greene, Executive Director of the Youth and Family Project, joins me to talk about their upcoming Christmas in July Fundraiser. The event is taking place at the West Bend Football High Schools' Fields on Saturday, July 27th, 2024, and will feature three teams of celebrity competitors.
Also, I get the opportunity to be the stadium announcer, which is probably a mistake on their part, but I'm cheap so they get what they pay for. 😅
The celebrity athletes will be competing in some competitions that can only be described as "zany" (or "outlandish" or "downright fun"). Plus there will be a white elephant silent auction and a whole lot more. All for $5. Nice.

This week, I get the chance to spotlight the incredible work of the Youth Impact Club at West Bend High Schools.

Join me as I sit down with Zach Church, Haley Jo Hubert, Melissa Hoogester, and Jackie Schmoldt to discuss their personal journeys, the club’s mission, and the impactful initiatives they’ve spearheaded.
