Testimonials

  • What can we say but WOW and thank you! You have gone above & beyond your “job” to make this special. Thanks for making us look good!
    — Deana Blackburn and Gigi Clements, Gala Co-Chairs
  • Many, many thanks for organizing such a lovely evening . . . I can't imagine doing this without your creative, thoughtful touches. I really appreciate you.
    — Dr. Linda Brubaker, Dean, Stritch School of Medicine
  • Most important of all was the number of people who used the word "inspirational" to describe the evening and program. I think it was the best you've done. So to keep improving after 13 years is saying something.
    Thanks and congratulations.
    — Rev. Michael J. Garanzini, S.J., Chancellor (former President), Loyola University Chicago
  • Congrats to you and team for staging a terrific event. I’ve told a number of people that unlike so many other affairs, this one really engaged the audience by introducing them to each of the honorees. It allowed everyone in the audience to get to know them and see them in action. Well done.
    — Susan Candiotti, CNN Reporter, Founders’ Dinner award recipient
  • Your long months of preparation certainly was evident at every moment of the evening. I am humbled and grateful to have been a part of this celebration. You are an amazing team and I hope you will pass on my thanks to so many others who brought absolute perfection to the Founders Dinner.
