“This is a great event that I’m honored to be a part of,” said Guerrero. “I know that the foundation of are children is a key focus to building a better future for us all. Everyone should come out and support this event.”

“I’m inspired to be part of this event,” said Moreno. :Right now gangs are a problem in most major cities. The violence needs to stop and we as a people need to unite and make this world a better place.”
