Behind KSA Events is back,
and this week we're featuring Julia Tielke, Senior Account Manager!

A few things we learned about Julia that didn't make the card: she's firmly Team Fall, has a major sweet tooth, and fresh flowers from Trader Joe's are always a win.

Of course, those who have worked or traveled with Julia know there's a lot more to celebrate!

Two teams. Two destinations. Two incredible football experiences getting closer! 🏈✈️

Beaumont Football and Mountain Vista Football joined us for their departure meetings this week as they prepare for two very different KSA Events trips.

🌺 Beaumont is headed to Oʻahu for five days featuring football, Pearl Harbor, a luau, Secret Island, and plenty of time together as a team.

🌴 Mountain Vista is headed to Orlando for JV and varsity competition, team activities, Universal Orlando Resort, and Epic Universe.

Different destinations. Different itineraries. The same opportunity to bring players, coaches, and families together on and off the field.

If your team could choose, where would you go: Hawaii or Orlando? 👇
