Unity and United Interests

Their shared dedication to giving back can be seen in how they've approached their philanthropy and community involvement from day one. It illustrates the core values and mission that bond them both as a couple. In addition, their commitment to family and raising children interested in athletics only cements that they truly are life partners. Pursuing common interests and values, they have drawn strength from each other.
