Kathy Tautenhahn, President of Amazing Spaces, served as the event’s Chair in loving memory of her husband Scott Tautenhahn. During the event, Kathy shared Scott’s story and encouraged all to get routine checkups. After going in for a routine checkup, Scott took a stress test which led to a successful heart surgery which gave Scott twelve more years with their family.
