In 2023, The Foundation will award its 1 Millionth Dollar through scholarships.

Thanks to all of you, this HUGE and proud milestone is possible.

As we begin to focus on the year ahead, 

this past year has been a special one... here are a few things to note:

• 55 students joined a family of others who have received scholarships before them for a total of 1058 scholarships to date.

• 77% of the scholarships awarded through Brian's Foundation were presented in honor of someone other than Brian, allowing their spirit to live on. We have always been really proud of that.

• A new and exciting fundraiser for the Foundation, a Watch Auction, secured watches from amazing individuals around the world, including Pope Francis. His Swatch Watch set a world record for the most expensive Swatch Watch sold at auction.

• Not only was the Watch Auction successful but it received media coverage from Green Bay, WI to the Revolution Magazine article in Singapore.

Watch Auction Results!

Last week the watch donated to Brian's Foundation from Pope Francis broke a Guinness World Record for the most expensive Swatch Watch sold at auction. The watch sold for $56,250 surpassing the previous record of $45,000. You can see all the watch auction results here.

The auction on November 30th brought in over $144,000 and thanks to the Rago/Wright team, 100% went to support Brian's Foundation and invest in young men and women who are making a difference.

The entire 'Once Upon a Time Watch Project' sales totaled $162,388, including three watches auctioned off in August at our 30th anniversary event.

The auction day in Chicago was an exciting time.! A huge thank you to those who came from near and from far and for ALL the support we received during this process.
