The luncheon was catered by Chef Richard Chamberlain. Former Armani model and Vogue and Glamour cover girl Jennifer Strickland delivered the keynote address.  Strickland told her personal story of a life that seemed glamorous and enviable, but was riddled with depression, drugs, anorexia and suicidal thoughts. The afternoon also featured several former United States Olympians highlighted by many gold medal winners including 2004 Gymnastics Gold Medalist Carly Patterson, 1996 Swimming Gold Medalist Ryan Berube, 1996 Gold Medalist in Track and Field Chryste Fields, 1984 Gymnastics Gold Medalist Mitch Gaylord, and 1960 Track and Field Gold Medalist Earl Young will all be on hand to share how they have made "more" of their lives since their Olympic glory.

Just Say Yes Luncheon

Over 250 guests joined Honorary Chairs Lisa and Kenny Troutt for the Annual Just Say YES Luncheon held in their home on May 11. The luncheon was catered by Chef Richard Chamberlain. Hospitality provided by the Bishop Dunne students.

Devin Wyman, Speaker; Lisa and Kenny Troutt, Honorary Chairs; Keith Davis, Speaker

Former NFL players Keith Davis and Devin Wyman were on hand to deliver feature remarks for the event. Davis was a standout at the University of Southern California before his career with the New York Giants in the NFL. The 6'8, 330 lbs Wyman played at Kentucky State University before winning a Super Bowl as a member of the New England Patriots. As they are doing for groups of youths across the nation, Davis and Wyman shared their personal trials and triumphs and performed several strength-defying feats to demonstrate the power of dreams, vision and focusing your efforts on being a champion. "You are here today to make a difference by how you live and what you believe," said Davis. "What you do in the dark, always comes to the light. There is a high cost of low living and we must cloth our youth with character and education," said Wyman.
