We never thought we’d have a small connection with Neil Armstrong, yet here we are with a powerful story of a Wisconsin man and a donation made to Brian's Foundation from the sale of Armstrong’s watch.

An extremely rare piece of American history is now benefitting a local non-profit that provides scholarships to students around Northeast Wisconsin.
To commemorate Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, the Omega Watch Company handcrafted personalized time pieces for the Apollo crew. Several years ago, Stefan Osdene, a watch collector, purchased the watch at a coin shop in Ohio. It had Armstrong’s name on it, but it wasn’t until later that he learned the watch belonged to the famous astronaut.
