Educator Feedback
“Last night was so very special. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for your support. It was an absolute honor to be invited to and presented with an educational award during last night’s 3rd annual Cocktails & Codebreakers event. I cannot wait to tell my principal and students about the event. It all happened so quickly—I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures. Also, my father enjoyed the evening very much. Thank you for having us, both. I look forward to our continued partnership.”

Ambassador Program Sponsor Highlight: Mr. Chuck Zeman
Chuck Zeman was a lifelong advocate for education and mentorship, dedicating his time to guiding underprivileged students in Florida toward graduation. In August 2025, his wife honored that commitment by making a $5,000 donation to sponsor a school in his name—making Chuck the first Ambassador Program Patron. Though he passed away that year, his legacy of compassion and guidance continues to inspire.
