Not only did we have a great turnout and Teresa’s stories brought everyone (yes, everyone) to tears, our sponsor for the event, a local business, immediately offered to sponsor a repeat engagement for our high school kids. He feels strongly that Teresa’s stories about opportunity (as opposed to entitlement) should be shared with our local kids.
