Hi Sara,
I just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work organizing and planning this event. This
was our first year participating and our family had so much fun! Also, I wanted to let you know
that the volunteers working the face painting table were outstanding. They were wonderful with
our kids. I cannot say enough good things about them. It is so good to see young men and
women dedicating their time to such a worthy cause. I wish I would have given them our phone
numbers because they were so amazing with our kids.
Thanks again and congratulations on such a huge success!
Sincerely,

Good morning Sara,
I hope this message finds you well this morning. I wanted to tell you thank you for allowing me
to have an awesome time at the Big Wheel Relay. What a great idea for a fundraiser! Thank you
for the volunteer (anonymous). She was very helpful and did a great job of giving me details.
She describe the runners, from colorful hair rollers, ballerina and wigs. I do not think I miss
anything! I have a T shirt, brought a power ball (energy), and had a chicken taco and pineapple
drink. I even had an opportunity to spin the wheel and won a very nice prize bag! To top it off, I
had an opportunity to see the big wheel that was used in the relay and take a picture. I hope
Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center was able to reach their goal.
Take care and once again thank you for letting (anonymous) assist me while attending the Big
Wheel Relay and hope to see you next year.
Sincerely,

Comment in Survey
My sister in law has a son who wears hearing aids. She has not previously worked with the
group, but when she asked staff for information, they were very happy to help her. We felt very
welcomed, and appreciated by the staff. They thanked us for attending multiple times and their
gratitude was touching. The event was organized, family friendly, FUN, and I am so happy we
were able to be part of it! Thanks for all you do!
