On July 15, Wilson will go live on social media to announce nominees for the Vision of We Awards, which will honor community members making significant contributions. The awards ceremony is scheduled for August 17 at the VFW.

Wilson also highlighted her birthday on July 20, during which she will be in Las Vegas to honor her sons, who are receiving a lifetime achievement award from President Biden for their volunteer work. Additionally, a Vision of We Community Day is planned for August 3 at 79th Street Barbecue, featuring resource tables, games, and food, with admission based on school supply donations for local students.
