If you didn't know I am letting you in on the secret. The must not miss event of VenueConnect is the DILC Celebration for a Cause. It's an opportunity to spend time with the best in the industry for a great cause. There is laughter, dancing, drinks, and stories you would only believe if you attended. Many of you may not know but one of the responsibilities of the DILC committee is to provide over $20K in scholarships to IAVM educational opportunities to individuals in underrepresented populations. The majority of the funds raised for these scholarships are done with dollars we raise during this annual event. Since 2020 the donations have started to become smaller and smaller. I am reaching out to my network to help spark the giving. We are asking for individual donations of $67. If 300 people donate $67 we can hit the $20K before we even have the event. I have over 3K connections. This should be an easy ask. You don't have to be an IAVM member to donate. You don't have to attend VenueConnect or the event to donate. You just need to take a moment to click the link and make the donation. I know at least 1k of you who have spent more on a bar tab. 😏 CHALLENGE!!! If you have received a scholarship from DILC previously, here is your opportunity to give back. I challenge you to make a donation. If you have ever attended a conference or educational opportunity with me. I challenge you to donate. If you are a member of an underrepresented group in the industry. I challenge you to donate. If you know someone who would be an amazing corporate sponsor or donor to help us create next-level inclusive content. I challenge you to inbox me with more details and then donate. 😁 Donation Link: https://lnkd.in/eXtxZYm6 Always with LOVE...

An interesting bit of news about Subway. My research on founder-led nonprofit organizations has revealed that family-owned businesses, like Subway, are similar in many ways. In fact, the two families that own Subway also head a foundation. It will be interesting to learn how a purchase deal develops. #familyowned #nonprofits #antitrust

Through We Rise Together: For an Equitable & Just Recovery, we are learning about the outsized impact grocery stores have on neighborhood economies. We Rise Together, a collaborative of 160 funders led by The Chicago Community Trust, has supported some 40 real estate developments in long-disinvested communities since 2021. As these projects open, we’re learning about the impact of these places through a robust evaluation, another benefit of a collaborative funding model. With our evaluation partner Mastercard Data Services, we are seeing that grocers produce immediate and measurable impacts on total traffic to an area when they open and close. Closing a larger grocery store produces a further reaching effect than opening a smaller local grocery store. As more projects open their doors, we will continue to share what we’re learning through our ongoing evaluation. #Chicago #Philanthropy #WeRiseWednesdays

🧭🧭🧭Don’t be afraid to change course—it’s never too late! 🗺️🗺️🗺️ 💡I spent this morning at Northbrook Court shopping mall with my mom 👭, and I couldn’t believe how many storefronts are now empty. Jonathan Fell explained the redevelopment plan to me—that the majority of the original structure will be torn down to make way for a new mixed-use development of open air shopping, entertainment, and residential units. 💡Yes, sometimes the best thing we can do is let go of what was and work together to build something new.
