“Gamechangers” Red Heart Association Gala x The Day Dreams Foundation

I had the honor of attending the Gamechangers Ball, hosted by the American Heart Association in Missouri, where I was invited on behalf of the Day Dreams Foundation to greet guests and collect donated sports balls that will help young athletes gain access to play.

The name of the evening could not have been more fitting. The Gamechangers theme perfectly reflected the mission behind the event, supporting health, community, and creating opportunities for young people to stay active through sports.

It was inspiring to see the generosity of the community in action. The event raised approximately $144,500, and I was grateful to collect over 50 donated sports balls that will go directly toward helping kids participate in athletics.

Moments like this show how powerful community support can be when people come together around a shared goal. I am thankful to the American Heart Association and the Day Dreams Foundation for allowing me to be part of such a meaningful night dedicated to creating more opportunities for kids to play.
