I’m super excited to share I’ll be speaking at this event about what an incredible inspiration Sue Bird is to me, to women of all ages, and the City of Seattle! Please join me in congratulating the incomparable Sue Bird on her First Citizen’s Award.
Statistics only tell a small part of the remarkable impact of this year’s Seattle-King County First Citizen Award recipient. “She’s a trailblazer in the community as well,” said one admirer.
For her extraordinary accomplishments as an athlete, a community volunteer, an advocate for LGBTQ equality, and her philanthropy, recently retired professional basketball player Sue Bird will be honored as the 85th First Citizen. The future Hall of Famer, once called “the most accomplished champion this city has ever seen,” will be recognized at a civic celebration on Thursday, May 18 at the Sheraton Grand Seattle. Read more
