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

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

Murder Mystery

“The event went really well. We had about 40-45 students show up which was a great turnout for events we usually host. We did have one volunteer back out the day of the event, but Thomas was quick to rearrange the script to account for the missing actor. It actually made the murder mystery more suspenseful. I think Thomas was a great host and really engaging with the students when giving clues. Along with asking the actors the right questions that would warrant an audience reaction. He was a big contributor to all of our ohs and ah moments. I also think that the verdict sheets helped students feel like they were detectives or investigators given information to an unsolved mystery. Overall, everyone from members of SAB to those who attended noted it was one of the best events. “

— Jordana, Ithaca College

Andy Gold

“In planning a Retreat for medical professionals in recovery, we came across a YouTube video of Andy Gold. When we stopped laughing he was hired. Andy not only tailored his performance to be specific to the group, he also humbled himself to spend time with everyone in an AA meeting and overall fellowship. He was hysterically funny sharing personal experiences and life situations! Everyone loved him with a request to even have him return! He is worth his weight in gold and ended up being an inspiration to those who attended. If you are looking for a funny comedian who is real, he’s your guy. “

— Carolyn Westgate, Program Director, Professionals’ Health Program Kansas Medical Society

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

Zero Shades

“You made an instant connection with the audience and delivered difficult content in a manner that was relatable and not preachy. What I appreciate about the program [Zero Shades] is that it cuts through the “clutter” of Title IX, VAWA, Cleary, etc. and provides the audience with a clear message… Feedback from students was positive and appreciative of both the information and the manner in which it was delivered. Thanks so much for being such a great educational partner!”

— Chris Jachimowicz, Millersville University

Brian Ledbetter

“Brian Ledbetter’s performance for SpikeNites at Gonzaga University was absolutely mind-blowing! Mr. Ledbetter was amicable with our staff, as well as, very adaptable amidst our unexpected lower turn-out. His adaptability truly shined through his ability to engage the crowd and provide an exceptional performance. We had many students leaving the show awe-struck and sharing the events on social media! It would be a pleasure to host Brian Ledbetter for future events at Gonzaga University.”
