I was so touched by how many of you helped celebrate my birthday and our shared work to inspire, empower, and connect the next generation to change their world. Time and again, this community has shown just how powerful it can be when people come together for something bigger than themselves. And today was a perfect example. Reading your card submissions and messages of support for The Obama Foundation’s work was a highlight of my day. And I also loved seeing your generous birthday gifts supporting our programs. I’m more energized than ever to keep supporting and connecting the next generation of leaders. Here are a few of the notes that made it such a special day. |
