Money… 🎉 First shot of the K12 Sports Tech long putt at the #IADA Summer Retreat Golf Outing, Tracy Henry from the IHSA sinks the 30-footer🔥 Such a joy reconnecting with IL AD friends, old and new, and hearing Coach Bruce Weber talk to this crew about his journey and share advice and appreciation for the work they do, especially their impact on student athletes: “If you help people reach their dreams, you’re gonna reach your own dreams.” 🙌 Speaking of helping and serving: Huge thank you to Peter Goff for putting on an awesome event, and for always seeking ways to help others, including yours truly! Congrats to Scott Jones (Morton AD) and Dan Sheehan (Monticello AD) who also won the long putt! Till next year! (Kidding.
