Favorite Jagathon Memory: "My favorite memory was final reveal 2020! It honestly just meant so much standing in the front row with some of my closest friends watching the executive board (also some of my closest friends :)) have huge smiles on their face getting ready to raise the final total. I could just see how proud everyone was, even before the boards were raised! In that moment, I didn’t even care what our total was, because I knew that we all came together and did all we could for the kids at Riley. I know saying final reveal is cliche, but it really just meant so much seeing all of the work from the year come together. I couldn’t stop crying in the best way for several days!"
