Earlier today, the City was named a winner of the 2018 Bloomberg Philanthropies U.S. Mayors Challenge, a yearlong competition that challenged city leaders to uncover and test bold, inventive ideas to confront the toughest problems faced by cities today. As of one of 9 cities to receive $1 million, the City of South Bend will use the money to develop a transportation program as an employer-funded benefit, resulting in decreased turnover, improved job stability, and increased take-home pay.

"All life, all learning is connected." - Felicia Leon-Driscoll, Ignite Michiana 2013. A favorite Ignite talk by a remarkable woman who has connected so many to the principles of peace, love, and joyful learning. Her gifts included a profound respect for all people, especially children, and an ever present sense of wonder about the world and our human experience. Also, she'd make you laugh, even through the tears.
