CR Parent Shares
“This evening my daughter, Mary Kathryn, called from Stetson University to tell me about a program she initiated and received donations for, to assist the homeless in finding employment. ”Who is this dynamic go getter” I thought to myself. She is the product of one of the wonderful organizations in this community – Chain Reaction. I remember the first time I dropped my then thirteen year old daughter at the door of a Chain Reaction meeting. Little did I know that Chain Reaction would impact my daughters character, influencing her choice of college, and infuse her with the skills she needed to be successful in life. My wife and I are indebted and grateful to Chain Reaction.”-Brent Brummet, CR Parent and Principal at Ransom Middle School
