When you raise money for the right cause and right reason you love it,
are humbled by it and utter the words “Thank You” throughout the day.

It’s an honor to thank those who have touched my life over the years and
ultimately made me realize that it isn’t about raising money, it is about
being an advocate for a very good cause.

So a hearty and loud shout out to: Will Munger, who gave a young woman
her first job and empowered her to meet with the Chairman of Hubbard
Broadcasting and Super America, charged her with managing hundreds
of volunteers, give live TV and radio interviews knowing she didn’t have
a clue what she was in for. Thanks to Tricia Christiansen and Renee Dubs;
creative, talent, beauty and grace – artists who continue to freely give
their time and talents to so many worthy causes – they are more than
colleagues, they are friends. Brad Holmes who showed me that fundraising
can be a blast and kept me smiling from ear to ear. Thank you to Dr. Spencer
Phillips without you ML Wagner Fundraising would not exist – there are no
words but a simple “thank you” for what you have taught me and in turn
gifted to me.

Each client, each person, each donor forever holds a place in my heart.
And that heart is held by those closest to it. My parents, whose unconditional
love allowed me to live fearlessly knowing I would always have a soft place
to fall, my brother and sister-in-law who brought me closer to God. HT who
is my future, and most of all, my guys — my children, Lyndon and Wyatt who remind me that deep down I’m still a very precocious little girl. Thank you,
thank you, thank you!
