Glow Events

“I wanted to reach out on behalf of CAB to sincerely thank you for contributing to our event. The guests enjoyed the volleyball and were talking about it after the matter too! Thank You so much for adding the generator last minute and being so kind and cooperative. The setup people were also very courteous and friendly. Everything was set up and broken down quickly and efficiently.

Thank You for making a big impact on our event. We look forward to working with you in the future :)”

— Jyoti, Thomas Jefferson University

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

— Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Inflatables

“I just wanted to reach out to personally thank you for the part that you played in making Penn State Homecoming’s Allen Street Jam 2023 such a smashing success! The airbrush apparel items were such a hit this year and people really loved all the options available to them. You were amazing to work with and I will certainly leave a note for my successor to try their best to continue this partnership in the future! Thank you again, I truly enjoyed working with you over this past year!”

— Henry, Penn State University – University Park

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

— Wade, Central Michigan University

Maximize Your Buzz

“You [Max Buzz] made an impact on my decisions. That night I planned to go to a birthday party, and I was excited to drink with all my friends. However, after going to the program, I didn’t want to drink anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, and remember the night rather than waking up the next morning wondering how I got home. So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”

— Brittney Gilman, University of New Hampshire, Student

Campus Feud

“I just wanted to get back to your email and let you know about how the event went. You guys were a pleasure to work with, as was Keith. He was an awesome host, very good with getting the students to get in teams and was very organized. He also went at a great pace, since we did have a larger turn out, he was very good about getting everyone involved and made sure everyone that wanted to play, could. Thank you guys so much for teaming up with us for this event. Have a great weekend. “

— Jerika, Washington State University

Shaun Boothe

“Although we were familiar with the leaders you sang about (Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, Terry Fox, Muhammad Ali, Bob Marley), your approach to their lives was so unique and refreshing that we learned a great deal more than any class or documentary could teach us in the same amount of time. You made each of their stories come to life and you perfectly illustrated how every one of them was a leader while highlighting the same traits that we can personally find within ourselves.”

— Melissa MacIntyre, D.A.R.E. Leadership Advisor, Banting S.S. London, ON

Lady Caress

“The event went extremely well. We had a nice turnout of at least 50 people. One of the crowd’s favorite parts was how Lady Caress hosted the event. Lady Caress not only read some of her own poetry but she also played off of what the student performers read. Another great part of the show was how Lady Caress was able to engage the crowd with people also staying six feet apart. It is very hard to engage crowds during this time and the way that she went about it was amazing. “

— Rebecca, Bradley University

Brian Miller

The show went great! Our student staff loved him and said it was one of the best keynotes they have had for training in a long time! Brian was so great as usual. I had accidently messed up the time that I thought the students were arriving so he had to set up around the students and he was so gracious and easy going about the mistake. He even stayed after the show a bit for about 30 students or so who wanted to chat with him and he gave them a little extra magic too.
