foundation supporters. Kirby Gwen from 98 WJLB served as emcee alongside
auctioneer Brian Baumhor while guests enjoyed fine wine, great cuisine, and
exciting auctions.

worlds and introduce me to new friends,” said Jackson. “I am so thankful and
blessed to have the opportunity to give back to an amazing community that has
been so supportive of me.”
