Words and photos cannot do justice to describe how incredible our Celebrate Fox Cities Annual Dinner was! Thank you to everyone who came together last week at the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley. It was a great night to gather in person, as we wrapped ourselves in the American flag and heard Dan Nevins's inspiring story ... walked the red carpet ... celebrated the accomplishments of our award winners ... and overall just had a great time! See a visual recap of the evening in our online photo album. One more thank you to our sponsors who made it all possible, including presenting sponsors Boldt and Johnson Financial Group and keynote sponsor ThedaCare.

Initially, they served clients in advertising and marketing, but it was servant leadership that drew Joe's interest in even more. Read the Prophit Co. member spotlight.
