Testimonials on Craig & Fred Speaking Events
"We so enjoyed having Craig and Fred speak at our event! We had an audience of over 500 people, and had such a phenomenal response. From the mayor, to other leaders in our community, everyone LOVED Craig and Fred!! Their message of "stubborn positivity" impacted the hearts of so many people. In all my life, I have never heard such great feedback from an event like this, and that is due to Craig and Fred's amazing story. We had a dozen people who drove more than three hours to hear this story. Craig's honesty about his experiences was so genuine, and we loved the whole "pack" of Craig, Nora, Fred, and Ruby." -- Elizabeth Glass, Micah's Promise, Columbus, Ga
"Craig Grossi's presentation at our school was one that we will be feeling the effects of for years to come. His book brought together everyone in our community--from sixth graders to silver-haired seniors, veterans and so many in between. Watching Fred play around as he shared his story with us, meeting him in real life, and seeing the genuine person Craig is was incredible!" -- C.A.R.E.S Community Read Program, Hillsboro, Wisconsin
"Craig and Fred are rock stars! They spoke with over 1500 middle school students yesterday about the power of being positive in tough situations. You could hear a pin drop in the auditoriums; the kids were hanging on his every word. Craig was engaging, authentic and funny and Fred was adorable. Craig & Fred have impacted the lives of countless students and adults in our community by sharing their story. We are so thankful for the opportunity to host them and hope to have them back again soon." -- Melissa Rizer, Grosse Point Public Schools, Michigan
“In my forty plus years of hosting and attending library programs (including many fabulous concerts), Craig and Fred were one of my favorite programs ever! Craig really is extraordinary--smart, funny, warm, modest, kind, thoughtful and a natural speaker. People LOVED him and his message—I don’t think I have ever had so many people thank me for arranging a program or tell me how much the program meant to them. Honestly, it was a remarkable experience." -- Deborah Rutter, Cheshire Public Library (Cheshire CT)
“We had a spectacular visit and people are still thanking me for hosting Craig and Fred!” --Gail Thompson-Allen, Russell Public Library (Middletown CT)
“Our events with Craig & Nora & Fred & Ruby were awesome! The kids (and adults) were thrilled and enthusiastic and the signing was crazy-good. Our event room was mobbed with people, and it was standing room only in the back. It was so heartwarming to see how people were touched by their story. It really was a special day for everyone involved!” -- Susan Kehoe, Browseabout Books (Rehoboth Beach DE)
