"And so, tonight, in this very special moment, I implore each of you to embrace the profound power of giving – not just to believe in it, but to become a joyful giver. Giving is not solely measured in monetary value; it manifests in countless forms. It can be the quiet offering of your time, the gentle hand of patience, the insightful embrace of understanding. It can be the simple act of a listening ear, an open heart, or the generous sharing of your unique, God-given talents. Above all, just give. Give of yourself, and watch how the world, and indeed your own spirit, transforms." - Gardner Global Rooftop Honors - July 31, 2025
