CLOSING REMARKS Dear Friends of The Viscardi Center,

Thank you for attending our virtual 54th Annual Celebrity Sports Night. We all look forward to being together in person in 2022! As our largest fundraiser, each year Celebrity Sports Night raises vital funds for Viscardi’s most critical needs, many of which are not covered by any other funding source. To that end, I want to acknowledge the support of all donors and companies that have given to this event, as well as the Center at large, over these past unprecedented ffteen months. Believe me, we have needed your support now more than ever.

I want to thank all the teachers, therapists and staff, throughout The Viscardi Center, Abilities, Inc., and Henry Viscardi School, for their inspiring dedication during this diffcult time. I am proud to report that we have been able to meet our mission at a time when we know they, too, are personally facing challenges. These walls are strong, but the people within them are even stronger.

When the pandemic hit, the Center and School pivoted quickly to continue to serve children and adults through our educational and employment programs and services. The necessity to say “yes we can,” instead of “it is too hard,” taught us all that we are capable of much more than we had previously thought. I always say that it is my honor to serve as Board Chair, and I mean it, perhaps now more than ever. I want to thank my fellow Board Chairs, Beth Daly (HVS Board) and Candy Cucharo (Abilities Board), for their partnership this year. I also express my gratitude to all Board Members for their time and contributions to our life-changing work.

Finally, I want to pay special tribute to John Kemp, Sheryl Buchel and all members of the senior management team. Their fexibility, ingenuity and spirit have not only kept The Viscardi Center surviving this year, but they have kept it thriving. It is an honor to serve alongside them.

I hope you enjoy tonight’s event, and please be sure to join us in person on May 19, 2022 for our 55th Annual Celebrity Sports Night.

With Gratitude, Russ Cusick

Drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the sixty-second round of the 1988 MLB June Amateur Draft by Tommy Lasorda as a favor to Piazza’s father, the Miami-Dade Community College product belted 427 career home runs – a record 396 as a catcher – en route to enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016 as the latest draft pick in Hall of Fame history. A frst baseman upon his selection, Piazza was converted to catcher then ascended through the Dodgers minor league ranks before enjoying six seasons of development and success in Southern California. From 1998 to 2005 Piazza starred for the New York Mets, a tenure which included leading the team to a National League Pennant and a date in the World Series with the crosstown rival New York Yankees. The slugger fnished his career with brief stops in San Diego and Oakland before hanging up his Tools of Ignorance following the 2007 season. He was Cooperstown-bound his fourth time on the Hall of Fame ballot and during that same summer his number 31 was retired at Citi Field by the Mets.

Known most notably as one of the biggest comeback stories of our era, Bethany Hamilton has become synonymous with inspiration. Her story of determination, faith, and hope has resounded in encouragement worldwide. At the age of 13 as a rising surf star, Bethany lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark, which seemed to end her dream career. However, one month after the attack, Bethany returned to surfng and within two years had won her frst national surfng title.

Bethany’s foundation of faith has been her backbone; her source of truth, hope, and strength. At 17 years old, she realized her dream of surfng professionally and she is still an active surf competitor to this day.

Bethany has been able to touch a large number of people with her faith message, charitable efforts, and overall spirit.

Her greatest joy is being a wife and mother, and she continues to touch and inspire lives globally as a professional surfer, author, and motivational speaker. She currently has her own blog and online course on helping others become unstoppable. COMMITTEE MEMBERS
