Examples quote: “I miss you every day — your voice, your laugh, the way you made everything better just by being there.” or “Your favorite movie was The Wizard of Oz, and you always loved the line, ‘There’s no place like home.’ That’s exactly how it feels without you here.”

Keynote Speaker

We are honored to feature our guest speaker, Jason Schechterle.

On the night of March 26, 2001, a taxi cab, traveling at over 100 miles per hour, crashed into the rear of Jason’s patrol car.

Through a series of miraculous and fateful circumstances, Jason survived the crash and ensuing physical and emotional catastrophe. He suffered severe burns to over 40% of his body which drastically altered his appearance. He has undergone more than 50 surgeries just to have the ability to accomplish simple daily tasks we often take for granted.

Jason’s journey chronicles his fight for life, his triumph over tragedy and the inspiration that enables him to continue to overcome unimaginable adversity. His personal narrative exemplifies that the power of the human spirit can never be underestimated or extinguished.

His story is one of life, rebirth and transformation. Jason represents the human experience at its very best – an ascent from despair to describing himself as the luckiest person alive!

We all can make a difference
