Now called One Heartland, the Milwaukee-based nonprofit agency has become a year-round national organization whose mission is to improve the lives of socially isolated children through a series of camps in three different states.

At the end of September, Willenson, 39, will step down as CEO of the foundation he created. He is a UW-Madison graduate.
