Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America, with high impact presentations that motivate youth to positive change in the way they treat others. Hosts for this special gathering include recording artist Traa Daniels of P.O.D., motivational speaker and recipient of the Cambridge Lifetime Award, Dean Kosage, and author Greg S. Reid of “Think and Grow Rich: 3 Feet from Gold”.   
 
Social meet and greet will begin at 6pm at Sweet & Tender, inside Se’ Hotel, followed by a powerful presentation delivered by keynote speaker Craig Scott, to share the story and vision of Rachel’s Challenge. Craig Scott has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN as well as included in a feature article for Time Magazine on April 20th, 2009 in memory of the 10-year anniversary of the Columbine HS Shooting. Other speakers include Traa Daniels and Greg Reid. The presentations will be followed by a call to action with a specific challenge to parents and community leaders, showing them how they can reinforce the decisions their youth are making. Silent auction will follow, as well as an after party starting at 9pm. Admission is $10 per person, ages 18 and over.
