After playing for thousands in the Del Mar Fairgrounds in California, Toby Keith met with veterans and fans after his amazing concert. Ordinarily Mr. Keith would spend time with his fans, but this time it was the other way around, and Toby found himself as the recipient of a Make a Wave coin.
In 1998, I found myself in a High School wrestling match with an absolute beast. He was heavily muscled, disciplined, and carried a shamrock clover tattoo on his shoulder. I was also in good physical condition, disciplined, and carried a shamrock tattoo on my shoulder as well. The crowd called our match appropriately, “The Battle of the Shamrock’s”. My opponent’s name was Kevin Dempsey, but his friends called him…”Jack”.
Marc Cuban, Serial Entrepreneur and judge on the hit TV Show, “Shark Tank”, was recently at a CLVR Talks event in San Diego where he was presented a coin in remembrance of Kevin “Jack” Dempsey.
KINDNESS is the language which the deaf can HEAR and the blind can SEE
San Diego State University recently invited Make a Wave CEO, Kevin Kirk to discuss his inspiration to create Make a Wave.
Over 160 students at SDCC Mesa will be using their Make a Wave coins to positively impact their community as part of their final class project.
The 3rd graders at Rosemont Elementary School in Virginia Beach were the first pilot class to use the Make a Wave coin in a school. You’ll see in the video that the results were amazing!
It is EASY to hate, it takes strength to be GENTLE and KIND.
