At our Breakthrough Awards Dinner, we were honored to have Hunter Woodhall and Tara Davis-Woodhall share their incredible journey with our audience. Their words on resilience, perseverance, and learning from setbacks were nothing short of inspiring. As Hunter put it: "You either win or you learn." He talked about overcoming the fear of failure, saying: "We’re so scared of what’s going to happen if I don’t get the results I want or if I don’t succeed the way I want. And then you get to the other side, and realize things are still going on and that was just a moment in time.” Their energy and passion resonated deeply with everyone in the room, but the highlight of the evening came when Hunter surprised his mom by presenting her with the Olympic Inspiration Pin. It was a heartfelt and unforgettable moment that captured the spirit of recognition and gratitude we hold so dear. And let’s not forget the energy Tara brought when she led us in her famous pre-race routine with her iconic clap! 👏 The whole room felt her excitement and enthusiasm. And to top it off, we had the incredible honor of presenting Hunter and Tara with their 2024 Olympic rings, making them the first Olympians to receive them—created by O.C. Tanner. 💍✨ We’re beyond grateful to the Woodhalls for sharing their stories, passion, and heart with us. This evening was truly one for the books. #Greatness24 #Olympians
