Keynote speaker, Anna Quindlen, gave a moving and inspiring reminder of why Planned Parenthood matters so much. We were pleased to honor the Clasquin Harslem family—Rani Clasquin, Eric Harslem and Kate Harslem—with the Robbie and Tom Ausley Leadership Award for their steadfast commitment to improving health care access and enhancing education opportunities in the Austin community. Mayor Lee Leffingwell shared a proclamation designating Nov. 6th as Planned Parenthood Day in the City of Austin.
Thank you to our phenomenal co-chairs Aimee Boone and Beverly Reeves, who helped make the event such a success; to Senator Kirk Watson, our terrific Emcee; to Reverend Freddie B. Dixon for a moving invocation; to Alex Albright and Laura Scanlan Cho, our Board Chair and Vice-Chair; to Bonnie Mills, Chair of the Austin Stands with Planned Parenthood Campaign; and finally to each of you who joined us that night.
