Ep.16: Benefit for the Backside 2023 w/ Robin Rinderspacher & Pam Wessel

November 02, 2023 • Backside Learning Center

On this episode of Behind the Backstretch, we are gearing up for the 17th Annual Benefit for the Backside coming up in just about 2 weeks! We speak with two individuals who have been heavily involved in the planning process for this event as well as share details on the event itself.

First, we talk with event consultant Robin Rinderspacher who talks about her role with this benefit, gives listeners a rundown of what to expect for the day, and discusses why she thinks it is an important and unique event.

Then, we interview Pam Wessel, who is a volunteer and supporter of the BLC. She delves into how she got involved with the organization, her volunteer work with our mom's support group, and how she has enjoyed her time on our Benefit planning committee.
