Wisconsin\u2019s First Lady and GAB Board Member, Tonette Walker and her husband, Governor Scott Walker, GAB Board Member and domestic violence survivor Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, GAB\u2019s Peer Ambassa-dog Sadie, and GAB Peer Ambassadors.<\/p>\n
Among a fun and successful raffle and silent auction, the event was filled with inspirational stories from survivors, influential and prideful stories from GAB\u2019s Peer Ambassadors, a heart-felt movie premiere of the story of GAB\u2019s Peer Ambassa-dog Sadie and her connection to bullying, and of course, delicious food and drinks!<\/p>\n
Special guests speakers were Wisconsin\u2019s First Lady, Tonette Walker, (a GAB Board member) and her husband, Governor Scott Walker. <\/p>\n
GAB board member Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, told her horrifying story of almost being murdered by her ex-husband, and how that experience has helped her deliver a message of hope and perseverance to thousands of children who may be being bullied.<\/p>\n
GAB\u2019s Peer Ambassadors spoke about their pivotal role to put the power to stop bullying back into the hands of the students by being upstanders.<\/p>\n
Sadie, GAB\u2019s Peer Ambassa-dog, made a cameo appearance, as the audience viewed the world-wide premier of Sadie\u2019s movie. There wasn\u2019t a dry eye in the house.<\/p>\n
Thank you to all the wonderful people who attended and our GAB volunteers who helped make this a successful event.<\/p>\n
