Mother's Day at the BORP Revolution - This year's REV falls on Mother's Day, making it extra special for the Mothers and Mother Figures of BORP. We are planning on recognizing the incredible women who make that special mothering difference at BORP with a Recognition Wall at the event, and a Mom-Moment during the program. We encourage you to share some remarks about your mom, and mother-figures. We'll make sure that they are a part of the Recognition Wall at the event. CLICK HERE to share your mom moment.
