This Year’s Special Guests:
Annika Marek-Barta
‘Something Big’ Special Guest Speaker
Annika Marek-Barta spent five years in the foster care system and was adopted as an adult at age 26 - a reminder that we never outgrow the need to belong. A former Court Appointed Special Advocate, graphic designer, and photographer, Annika is passionate about creating spaces where people feel seen, known, and welcomed. She will join us as a special guest at ‘Something Big’ to share her story.
Molly Grantham

Molly Grantham is a four-time Emmy winner, three-time author, national speaker, and charity auctioneer known for bringing humor, energy, and authenticity to the stage. After 25 years in television news, she now inspires audiences across the country to “Bet On Yourself.” Molly is also a proud mom of three and an active supporter of nonprofits. We’re thrilled to welcome her back as emcee of the Something Big Benefit.
Isaac & Adele

Isaac & Adele are a husband-and-wife duo blending folk, blues, Americana, and country with rich harmonies and an easy, soulful sound. We’re excited to welcome them as the live musical entertainment for this year’s Something Big Benefit.
