Keith Lee's latest visit to Gary, Indiana is a reminder of what can happen when visibility turns into action and community answers the call.
After seeing residents of Gary struggling in the aftermath of the August 11 storms, Keith used his platform to bring attention and resources to the city. In just days, that call grew into a massive relief effort with 40+ food trucks, hundreds of volunteers, more than 10 companies and thousands of residents receiving food, cleaning supplies and other essentials.
Keith contributed $15,000 toward the effort, with Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton matching his donation for a combined $30,000. The Salvation Army, City of Gary, Ace Hardware and others also joined the effort.
Gary, we see you. ๐ค
On this day in 2012, the greatest easter egg in tennis history:

The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and theyโll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.
What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. ๐ฆ
I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. Weโre in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. ๐ @dollyparton
