Washington State Quarter Horse Youth Association Dear Mr. Foxx: On behalf of the Washington State Quarter Horse Youth Association and the Northwest Region of AQHA, I want to thank you for your presentation to our youth leadership conference in Seattle, Washington on March 4, 2006. Your words were inspiring, funny and thought-provoking. While those of us attending the conference have so many gifts and abilities, it was great to hear about someone who had a life-changing tragedy, but managed, through hard-work, to overcome so many physical and personal obstacles. You left us much to think about, especially that "in life, confidence comes from remembering that 'Winners Don't Quit'!" Sincerely,
Western MA Training Consortium Dear Al Foxx, We would like to thank you for taking the time to be a keynote speaker at our annual Self-Advocacy conference on April 2, 2005.

IKEA Renton River Days August 7, 2002 Dear Mr. Dover I had the pleasure of hearing Al Foxx, founder of the Winners Don't Quit Association, provide an inspirational and motivational speech at a kick-off banquet for IKEA Renton River Days on July 23, 2002. Mr. Foxx shared his often humorous and always touching account of relearning to walk, talk, and drive after a traumatic motorcycle accident caused a brain =injury and left him partially paralyzed. Mr. Foxx had the unique ability of connecting with the audience, and they in turn responded to his message of creating a positive environment, believing that individuals have the power to overcome anything, and not to give up because of obstacles. The standing ovation he received at the 2002 IKEA Renton River Days Banquet is a testament to his courage, sense of humor, and positive outlook. He is a true winner! Whether speaking in schools or the workplace, I believe that Mr. Foxx's message will bring a fresh point of view to living and working along side people with disabilities. Sincerely,

IKEA Renton River Days August 28,2002 Dear Richard: On behalf of IKEA Renton River Days, I would like to extend appreciation for the involvement of A1 Foxx as our feature entertainment at our festival's 17th Annual Kick-Off Banquet, which was held Tuesday, July 23,2002, at Maplewood Greens in Renton. Al's performance was well received by the audience; he invited us into his realm of experiences, memories, and reflections while finding humor, warmth, antidotes and irony in his theme of Winners Don't Quit. Al also found numerous opportunities to connect with several tables of guests based on their reactions - this interaction generated another level of participation and enabled the synergy in the room to flourish. The audience's standing ovation represented appreciation, joy, and warm regards to thank A1 for his candor, and to wish him well in his endeavors. Sincerely,

Clubs of King County Dear Al, Thank you so much for performing for our teens at the Kirkland Boys and Girls Club. Your performance was entertaining, humorous and very inspirational. The middle school age group can be one of the most difficult to perform for, and you managed wonderfully, keeping them interested and inspired by your routine. Not only were the kids laughing at the comedy but I could definitely feel that they were touched by the message "WINNERS DON’T QUIT." It is not often that our youth are directly exposed to the effects of choices. One of the most important things for them to understand and see is how our day to day choices can effect the out come of the rest of our lives. You provided them with those consequences loud and clear. I wanted you to know that one of our teens left talking about your performance and clearly motivated to move forward in his life. In closing I would like to say that as you continue on your journey of performing and speaking to youth you will be affecting them in ways you may never see, but we as a society always benefit from your work. Thanks again and I will contact you soon about further opportunities to talk with our teens! Sincerely,
Kirkland Teen Union To Whom It May Concern, In March of 2002, we at the Kirkland Teen Union building had the privilege of hosting Al Foxx at our facility for a night of comedy and inspiration. Al spent an hour educating our population on the attitude that it takes to rise up and be a winner, and he did it with a funny and entertaining delivery. Al's story really moved some of our kids to start taking steps to change their lives. One of our troubled teenagers told me that if "Al Foxx can make something out of his life, so can I." My staff and I laughed out loud at some of Al's comedy, and appreciated the points he had to make. It was a great night at the Kirkland Teen Union building, thanks to Al and his message. I enthusiastically recommend Al Foxx for your facility or program, and encourage you to bring Al in for youth and adults alike, People of all ages can benefit from Al Foxx's inspiring story. Sincerely,
Thank you very much for your recent speaking presentation with the Federal Way Sunrise Rotary Club. Your "Winners Don't Quit" message explaining your motorcycle crash and ongoing recovery was very inspiring to our membership. I wish we had more time so we could hear your full 50-minute presentation. One of our members has experienced a stroke and they were able to relate well to your struggle to learn how to speak again. For a person who was told they never would be understood clearly, you have certainly conquered the odds that were against you. Whether speaking in schools or the workplace, I believe that your unique life story, positive attitude, and your right combination of humor will encourage individuals to make positive choices and to not quit when they meet obstacles. If you ever need a recommendation for a speaking engagement, feel free to have your prospect to give me a call. Sincerely,
