How did you first learn about ILAO?
Jon Wasserman introduced me to ILAO when he asked me to host the annual benefit in 2019. I joined the Board of Directors later that year.
Why did you first give to or get involved with ILAO?
Through the process of hosting the 2019 benefit, I learned about the vital work that ILAO does and the thousands of needy Illinoisans who are helped every day. The more I learned, the more I knew that this was the organization to which I was going to devote my time, energy and effort.
What about ILAO most resonates with you?
The theme of last year’s benefit – a Light in the Night – encapsulates what resonates with me the most. ILAO provides hope and help during people’s darkest and challenging times.
Why do you contribute to ILAO?
Contributing to ILAO allows my donations to reach as many Illinoisans as possible. ILAO’s scalable platform provides legal aid around the clock when people need it most.
Why should others give to or get involved with ILAO?
For all the reasons I explained!

What law would you abolish if you could? What law would you create?
I would abolish any law that limits transgender people from fully participating in society and I would create a law that protects such discrimination.
