On this historic day, the Brian LaViolette Foundation recognized the extraordinary people who have helped change the lives of countless individuals throughout the world, highlighting the cross-section of America.

Here are some thoughts from several of our atteendees:

• “Thanks for a wonderful evening on November 11th. It was a wonderful tribute to Brian and for all of the students you help through scholarships.”

         --Nancy Schopf, Partners in Education

• “You outdid yourselves with the 11.11.11 event. The number of effusive comments I have heard following the event has been amazing. If that event could be duplicated across America, our nation would have a much different spirit and outlook.“

         --Lou LeCalsey-Brian LaViolette Foundation Board Member

• “11.11.11 was an outstanding event, and I was proud to have had the chance to attend. You should be proud of the outcome of all of your work in putting this epic evening together.”
