"Kyle Maynard was absolutely wonderful and he left a long-lasting impression on all of our guests. What an amazing person! Our kids absolutely fell in love with him and I think that he reciprocated the emotions in return. He gracefully tied our mission, cause and children into his presentation---and he made very obvious his belief in our program and students, which touched everyone in the room. He was phenomenal and is a true inspiration! This was by far the BEST kick-off dinner we have had and Kyle was in large part responsible for this outcome."
