THis IS A VIDEO OF MY Most Recent tAlK—one of my favorites, evER!
I was the Keynote Speaker for the North Bay Leadership Council’s annual awards luncheon on May 13, 2022, speaking about the importance of cultivating purpose in teens through values-driven, sustained outreach and engagement in the world. I was introduced by North Bay Leadership Council President, Cynthia Murray. Grab some tissues, and enjoy!
I love speaking about my experiences with Juggling for Jude, my mission to support the lifesaving work at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the global fight against pediatric cancer, and my efforts to inspire the next generation of philanthropists. I am passionate that researching causes and fundraising or contributing in some way at a young age can develop all sorts of life skills in young people, in addition to helping the cause at hand. Involvement in ongoing, genuine philanthropic work gives kids and teens a true sense of commitment and meaning, adding a critical element of purpose to their lives that leads to positive outcomes.
