Allison Hayes

I have a ton of respect for Kate Gassman! She is a power house in our community! I had a great time chatting with her about my career, the importance of story telling & community connection as well as my nonprofit One Good Deed Michiana & our upcoming benefit concert Bloomin Fest-MI on June 27th AND this weekend’s Sip! Buchanan event that I have helped put together!

✨ Why connection matters now more than ever

If you love local stories, community impact, and conversations that go deeper than headlines, you won’t want to miss this one.

Found my mom‘s old scrapbook and inside her ticket to see Elvis Presley at the Joyce ACC at Notre Dame for $10!! $10 to see Elvis?! 🤯

He’s a fighter! But keep the prayers coming for Brian & family! ❤️

We have good news to share.

Marian assistant basketball coach Brian Foster had a very long surgery today to repair his neck. His family tells us surgery was a success!

Coach Foster remains in a coma and on a ventilator to assist with recovery and will have a long road ahead of him but his family remains hopeful for continued progress.

He’ll have an additional surgery this week.

The injuries were sustained after Brian was involved in a serious accident after being hit by a semi truck.

The family is grateful for all your prayers and asks that you continue to keep Brian in your prayers.

They just started a Go Fund Me to assist with hospital costs, lost wages and family daily needs. You can contribute here: https://gofund.me/232fb6614
