"It was a wonderful experience...and the other parents I spoke with had the same feelings...having (Houston Texans Head Coach) O'Brien, the Falcons cheerleaders & some football players & coaches there, really brought the Super Bowl experience directly into the lives of our young people with disabilities. Even though they were not able to go to the Super Bowl...(it) came to them...(Super Fest) is a memory they will cherish for a lifetime, thanks to you all."
