Hello Everyone-
We have been so touched by your kindness! Your willingness to donate your time and effort and money underscores what wonderful people you are and what a wonderful community we have when we come together. It helps to know that all your efforts will result in support getting to people who need it, and I’m hoping you’ll take as much satisfaction from that as we do.
Hannah’s friends voicing their support.
As I reflected on these tumultuous three years, with Hannah’s diagnosis, struggle and death, the love that you surrounded us with, and the good that has come from her Crush Cancer Concert vision, I really am overwhelmed and at a loss for words. I hope you understand that the feelings are truly that powerful.
While planning this year’s concert, I was reminded of a radio interview Hannah and I did to promote the first concert. I couldn’t find the audio file anywhere, so I contacted the DJ, and it arrived in my email this morning. I think it’s the most fitting thing I can share with you as an attempt to articulate our gratitude because Hannah’s voice is the best voice, the best insight, for this occasion. You can find it below….
Please take a moment to listen to a small snippet of her voice and absorb the profundity of your efforts. This is a girl who was stricken. This is a girl who was hurt. This is a girl who tried to make it better for others. In reaching out and helping, you have done the same, and we are forever in your debt.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Mike Metzler
(and Nancy & Luke)
p.s. If we could ask one more favor…. Please share this with those we may have missed or anyone who may have helped you help us! And you can find photos and CCC2015 follow up on the Facebook event page HERE.
Here’s some local news coverage of our upcoming Crush Cancer Concert. For more details and a look at the super cool poster, head over HERE.
On March 27, 2015, the anniversary of Hannah’s death, the first ever Hannah Metzler Hope & Kindness Awards were given in front of over 1600 students and guests at Fairport High School. Saige Horvath and Bryce Czekanski were chosen from a celebrated group of 35 seniors nominated by the faculty and staff of Fairport High School.
Although her young life was cut short, Hannah Metzler exhibited hope in, and kindness toward, others. It is in this spirit that two Fairport High School seniors are recognized each year for exhibiting these traits.
Along with this award comes a monetary grant of $500 with no strings attached, no obligation of how to spend it. However, it is assumed that students will hold true to the spirit of the award and use the money to foster more hope and kindness in a manner of their choosing. They are encouraged to be as creative as they wish in putting the money to good use. Award money may be spent in any fashion, and the scope of possibilities is endless. Enclosed is a brief, but by no means limited, list of potential avenues. Award recipients should feel free to spend the money in one of these ways or any idea they may have that follows the spirit of infusing the world with more hope and kindness.
* Endeavors involving Fairport High School must meet with approval of the FHS Administration.
Even though students didn’t even know they were “in the running” for this award, they have certainly earned it along with the respect and admiration of the entire Fairport High School community.
