SMALL BUSINESS – Natural Resources
My sister became a mother with the help and guidance of the caring folks of Natural Resources. The economic downturn shouldn't be the reason Natural Resources goes away… it's a vital resource for expecting and new mothers!

THEATRE – The Nutcracker
These are some of my greatest friends in Chicago and a theatre company I (and Eric Schell, too!) used to work for. This show is absolutely magnificent and a Nutcracker like no other you will ever see. Since 2007 it always gives me goosebumps when I see it – just seeing this campaign on IndieGoGo made me smile.

DESIGN – Ocean Architecture
There are multiple patches of garbage in our oceans. This campaign is working towards a solution to not only reuse the garbage, but to rebuild eroding coastlines and restore dying coral reefs.
