A big thank you to Gibbs School in Arlington, Massachusetts, for welcoming Jay Blake and Follow A Dream for our "5 Tools for Your Life's Toolbox" presentation.
Jay had a wonderful time sharing the importance of Positive Attitude, Education, Passion, Determination, and Teamwork with the students and staff.
One of the highlights of the day was meeting a young blind student named Daniel. Jay was especially excited to give Daniel a special "viewing" of our Follow A Dream Funny Car, letting him experience the race car through touch and conversation. It was a memorable moment that neither of them will soon forget.
Thank you again to everyone at Gibbs School for your hospitality, enthusiasm, and support. We loved spending the day with you and hope to see you again soon!
