Dinner with Friends

Join us for an unforgettable evening with two-time Olympic gold-medalist and FIFA Women’s World Cup champion Brandi Chastain!

Brandi Chastain is an iconic U.S. sporting figure. Brandi and her U.S. teammates brought women’s soccer to the masses during the 1999 Women’s World Cup finals. That’s when Brandi scored a goal on a penalty kick after the second overtime of the U.S. versus China match and struck her famous pose. She was photographed on her knees, mouth wide open, eyes closed, fists in the air, wearing a black sports bra, and white soccer shorts. Her celebration pose was featured in magazines and newspapers around the world. After that, Brandi became a household name. People knew her for her sports bra, but she’s much more than that. She is a devoted wife, a mom, coach, an author, philanthropist, and more.

Thank you Cornerstone Wealth Strategies for once again being this event’s Keynote Sponsor!
