"Cheryl personally made sure that the night I received the Pat Summerall Award in 2009 would be among the most enjoyable of my life.  She handled every detail with great attention and, dare I say love.  We had never met until the event, but quickly became the best of friends."

"The Legends for Charity event held annually at the Super Bowl has become one of the highlights of the week.  This is one of the events that dramatically benefits the local community, and last year's recipient reported that it contributed the largest amount of money ever raised for their charity.  Working a year out, Cheryl has successfully managed all aspects of this event, and continues to find ways to improve and enhance this popular event. I is my honor to be on the Honorary Committee."

"Having a wife with 20-plus years of event planning experience for major corporations I know a thing or two about what it takes to create memorable days or nights...and Cheryl has it all: an eye for detail, a deep abiding love for what she does, and a remarkable work ethic. She cares -- and it shows in every way that counts."

- Armen Keteyian, CBS News

"Cheryl put together an event that was planned with the utmost care and detail right down to the second. I like to joke that I attend more banquet/charity events than anyone on the planet - somewhere over 100 a year. I have NEVER seen a function that was organized like the one Cheryl put together. She is absolutely AMAZING! and I am so grateful!"
