Dear Husker Heroes Event Coordinators & Sponsors,
Thank you so much for hosting such an amazing event last night at Husker Heroes. Our family is very appreciative to have been included!
The athletes were so friendly and caring to all of the kids, and extra patient! My son had the most fun with the gymnasts on the mats - he loved watching him do flips!
My son loved seeing Herbie & Lil Red too. In a typical setting, my son would not have the opportunity to meet them because the crowded lines would frighten him. But at Husker Heroes, he got to shake Herbie's hand at least a dozen times!
I am attaching our family photo with Herbie. You will see my son holding Herbie's hand. And this subtle social interaction, something as simple as holding a person's hand, was a huge development for him!
Thank you again for all the fun memories made last night. Please tell your sponsors how much it means to our families of children with special needs.
We had a great time last night. The volleyball and the tennis players were exceptionally friendly. Thank you so much. From Kori P

We just wanted to thank everyone who made this possible. Our son had a great time. Thank you! From Jill W
