Last weekend, I had the privilege of volunteering💁‍♂️at the American Cancer Society's Philadelphia Coaches vs Cancer BasketBall🏀Gala. The BasketBall Gala is an annual event, this year attended by approximately 350 people and this year raising over $800,000 to support the cancer community. A more inspirational evening I simply cannot imagine.🤲

Throughout the course of the night, I witnessed true outpourings of love❤️, moving tributes💌and transformative acts of generosity and philanthropy💓. I also was reminded, through the conduct and thoughtfulness of those sponsoring and hosting and running the event, what meaningful leadership looks like. I saw, first hand and in real time, the importance of:

☑️ Engaging in sponsorship and using our influence to benefit others

☑️ Being selfless with our time (even when it’s hard)

☑️ Empowering those who report to us

☑️ Anticipating issues and owning mistakes when they happen

☑️ Showing appreciation for a job well done

As always, friends, thank you for watching, for commenting and sharing. And, in the words of Coach Phil Martelli, let’s CRUSH CANCER!
