Tickets couldn't be purchased for We Day, they had to be earned. Lauren was 1 of only 50 students to receive a highly coveted ticket from one of the event's corporate sponsors, Amway, to attend We Day in Seattle, Washington.  

 

There she and 15,000 other young people were inspired by a remarkable lineup of speakers and performers including Magic Johnson, Jennifer Hudson, Martin Luther King III, NBA All-Star Gary Payton and quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson, among others.
