Celebrating this one sure is easy! 🥳

So here’s a toast (and maybe a slight roast!) Please join us with your own line in the comments! Help us wish the amazing Becky Endicott the happiest of bdays!

…To the one who started this company by not writing a marketing plan, but by writing a Love Letter to Philanthropy. B keeps us centered!

… To the one who reminds us of her GenX-ness by talking about 80s movies, music + pop culture like we all remember. B keeps us classic!

… To the one who rocks out to classic music like some kind of Beethoven-loving fangirl. B keeps us zen.

… To the one who’s life goal is to ‘sit at the feet of a stranger and hear their story.’ B will always ask how are you doing - really. And really does deeply want to know. 🥹

… To the one who gives the biggest mama bear hugs whenever you’re within arms reach… but also always gives you the chance to opt out, that’s just how B rolls.

… To that same mama bear that makes sure you don’t mess with the underdog, the unjust, the unfair. B’s always in your corner.

… To the one who uses 15 emojis, when she could just use one. B will always break out the 💃🎉🪩🥳🫠 for just the right punchline.

…. To the human who always believes in you. Always sees the best in you. B, we’re all better because of you.

HAPPY BDAY, B!
