It's been amazing to watch Simone Biles at this year's Olympic Games in Paris! She truly is the #GOAT, and we're proud to have her as a supporter and advocate for our work. Check out this great article by the @nytimes. #SummerOlympics #EmpowerYouth https://t.co/VGPSQKNMqA

Another day at the Olympics means another medal for Friends of the Children advocate and supporter @Simone_Biles. She took home her sixth gold medal yesterday, and continues to inspire our Achievers to dream big and achieve their goals. #DreamBig https://t.co/sahGVsEttN
